Tell me about herceptin.
Hello - Thank you for the info . I am currently getting Keytruda along with Carbo and Taxol. I got the Keytruda for my very first chemo, I am pMMR and they can't do surgery on me until some of the metastis clears up, if ever. So maybe that is why I was allowed to have it before exhausting other options, or maybe age. I'm 76 . With current treatment one tumor shrank but I have new ones, and in my lungs. Give it time, says my oncologist.
I want the Trastumzab because it is effective agains HER2. I have a score of 3+ which is the maximum. They proscribe it for breast cancer. It is in trials now for uterine cancer and looking effective it is particulary helpful for late stage. Not a cure, but a life extender, I can't get the Trastumzab until I exhaust other options. My oncologist tried, but it is an off label use now
