Anyone on this drug for breast cancer on lungs? I’m due to start this treatment on Thursday and would love to hear some positive stories.

Thank you

  • Hi Lindz

    I've just been advised that my current treatment isn't working and they have recommended Enhertu drug as the next treatment starting end of next week, so I am interested in how it works for you.

    Hope it goes well. Thinking of you.

  • Hi Lindz  I have never heard of Enhurtu but I think this is Trastuzumab deruxtecan.  I am on Kisqali which is also call Ribociclib.  I dont know why they keep trying to confuse use with all of these names.Joy

  • Good morning and sorry to hear your treatment stopped working. I’ve got my first infusion this afternoon so I will keep you updated on how it goes take care and good luck with your treatment xxx

  • Hi Lee 2. 

    The correct medical term you are correct about it, but Enhertu is the short/common name. A bit like Phesgo made of 2 drugs. Is a targeted therapy used for Her2+. I was on this but it hasn't worked.
