Keytruda/Lenvima - positive results?

I'm not a doctor, but I really think you should do everything you can to try Enhertu (I recall that you're HER2+, correct?). If your doctor can't get you on it, you should try a different doctor. If you are in the US, you are absolutely eligible for it now, having failed platinum based chemotherapy.

IMO it's crazy for them to keep you on Keytruda. If it didn't work together with carbo/taxol, it's not going to work alone. It's things like this that make me wonder if doctors have a financial incentive to order Keytruda, which makes huge amounts of money for Merck per dose.

There have been some not-so-happy campers on Enhertu on this forum lately, but other people have had pretty good experiences. It would be a shame not to try it.

Hello
Thanks so much for this! I gave me a little hope when I was feeling pretty discouraged.
My Dr. tried to get me on Enhertu at beginning and it was turned down by insurance. I have Clear Cell Carcinoma which is rare, so that said it wasn't standard treatment. She then tried to get me on it as a "compassionate" case but no luck. I have a conference this Tuesday. She will at least get me on a similar drug. She canceled this weeks chomo. Not sure whether she finally looked at my test results, or if in response to me questioning.
