Enhertu or Quit this Hamster Wheel?!

How many cycles of enhertu have you had? I ask because I've had 9 cycles, after my cancer metastasized a few months after finishing carbo/pacl. GI problems are the main side fx, along with periodic vomiting (which I believe is caused by constipation). My last CT scan showed a 58% reduction in the size of the main tumor, although the inguinal nodes show no reduction they appear to be stable.
I've thought about quitting enhertu because of the GI misery it causes, but I'm hopeful that the doctor will find meds to relieve it. I'm try to stay optimistic, and look forward to my next CT scan. I will keep doing until I see no progress, or if something better comes along.
I can't recommend the End of Life option at this point in my journey.

@cookercooker Thank you so much, we are indeed kindred spirits on the journey (or in this battle).
I am scheduled to start Enhertu on Wednesday, August 6. I don't feel strong enough - physically and mentally to even start again.
The surgery I referred to was a diverting colostomy. So I have a stoma now with a poop bag. That was July 2 and I still hate it. So I already deal with GI stuff.
Again, thank you so much. The End of Life act should be legal in all 50 states, we take care of our pets better than our people.
Hospice leaves eztra morphine. Extra morphine has been used by many to expedite things.
Not eating or drinking can take weeks, so I've been told, sounds awful.
I wish you the very best. Love.
