Enhertu for Stage 4 Breast Cancer
Hello, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 triple positive breast cancer mets bones 10 years ago. After 6 months, I had no evidence of disease and have taken Herceptin and Perjeta every 3 weeks for the last 10 years and had no progression. My tumor marker started slowly going up for at least a year but that can happen for many reason. Unfortunately, my tumor marker quickly elevated so I had a PET/CT scan this week and the cancer is back in my bones. My oncologist is going to take me iff Herceptin and Perjeta and start me on Enhertu and no other treatment because he says it is shown to work well. Does anyone have experience with Enhertu? I’m concerned that I might need Taxotere or some other more lethal drug. Any thoughts or experiences? Thank you.

Yes, I was first diagnosed with bone mets. My doctor was shocked because my primary breast tumor was small but I did have cancer in two of my three sentinel nodes. The cancer has returned near where the cancer was originally in my bones but in different actual bones. For instance, I had two spots on my spine (all T vertebrae). This time, I have a spot on my spine in a C vertebrae. I had a spot on my iliac bone previously and have it on my iliac bone this time but in a different place. I didn’t have it on my sternum the first time but I do this time. The good news is it still has not gone to soft tissue.
