I also have metastatic breast cancer. Original cancer was in 2013, stage 2B lobular. Had double mastectomy with chemo ACT and five years of letrozole. My cancer returned in 2022 in porta hepatic area ( near liver but not in it. It is now in gallbladder and I have a drain for bile. I tried Kisqali for a short time but tumors are growing but now will be starting Enhertu chemo in a week or two. I am 75 and have been very active and volunteer at my hospital. I feel scared about what is to change me next.

I have been on I.V Enhertu for 10 treatments, every 3 weeks. I have stage four breast cancer and am 80 years old. My last CT scan showed a decrease of the liver cancer of about 50% and my tumor marker went down from 1500 to 42 points. I am on the low dose of Enhertu and have not had any major side effects. I did have a port implanted as my veins are very small and hard to find. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 . I hope you have good luck with the Enhertu. So far it is working good for me.

@meme5 this sounds hard. If you don't mind me asking, how did you discover the metastasis? I am 8+ years out from diagnosis and my oncologist doesn't even see me anymore. I am wondering how I will ever know!
Good luck with the Enhertu. I hope you will continue volunteering. I can imagine being scared.
