OK. Thanks.
My oncologist said that the cocktail has very bad side FX. He was more amenable to the treatment ENHERTU. However, I have found out that my cancerous lymph node isn't big enough to qualify me for the clinical study. He hasn't provided any more options: I have stage IIIC serous uterine cancer. He mentioned hormonal therapy but said it wouldn't do much good. So, I'm looking at the LenPem option again.
I know you said you didn't have much of a problem with it. Is my oncologist being to careful, pessimistic about the side FX?

Honestly, I don't have anything to compare it to besides the Carbo/Taxel, and this is WAY better in my opinion. I did work through the chemo as much as I could, but the mental fog drove me crazy.
The LenPem side effect list is long, and perhaps they will get worse (cumulative) but I'm feeling pretty good overall. Going to work almost every day now, feeling tired a lot but that's expected as well. Also, the Pem is only 30 minutes IV - not like the chemo 6 hours.
I'm sure if the effects are too strong they will suggest a lower Lenvima dose for you, but I am so encouraged about this treatment, I would tell you give it a try!
FYI I am 5'10" 154lbs - so perhaps body weight/height is helping me to accept the full 20mg.
