@carol1024 What therapy are you on? And how many have you had? When you say they aren't working anymore, I assume they were at one point, indicating a positive response. I ask because I had a positive response to carboplatin/paclitaxel for a few months after the 6-cycle treatment. Then the tumors increased in size and a new one was detected. I have been on Enhertu treatment with 18 cycles under my belt, and there is no evident disease now.

@cookercooker same...I had very positive response to carboplatin and paclitaxal. My CA125 was 1641 early March and 4 months later, June 30th when I finished treatments, it was 80.
I stopped the treatments after the 6 and I had surgery on Aug 20. I'm HER2 positive also. I was on herceptin. Jemperli is the immunotherapy. I have had 15 treatments as of last Thursday.
My CA125 numbers have increased with every draw since I restarted the chemo on Nov 4th. I had Dr appt today and we discussed the options. One of them being the inhertu and Lenvima was mentioned too.
They had me at stage 3C, possibly 4, before surgery. I had the 6 treatments first, then surgery. After the hysterectomy it was confirmed to be stage 4.
I'm just really praying hard that when they change treatment it is successful. Have you had any issues with lung problems because of the inhertu?
Not sure of your age but I'm 67 and I know age factors in on a lot of medical conditions. Sure is a good thing I quit smoking 4 years ago. Lol
Congrats on your positive results so far with treatment.
