Is anyone here having TDM1 treatment. I have been signed up for it but not sure about it as it's all new and never been mentioned before but I'm told out of he blue that I will require it. If you are on it, how is it going and is it 14 cycles in 3 weekly sessions?
Hi Wispajo
I have had 2 rounds of TDM1 (kadcyla) and am due my 3rd a week Friday. My first session was 90min infusion and 90min observation. My 2nd session was 30min infusion and 30min observation. Have not had any side effects. It's hard to find any information as it is quite a new treatment. There are a few of us on this community that just starting this treatment but I have read that the results are really good.
If you have any specific questions please ask and I will try to answer them like you it was totally unexpected to be told I would be going on to this.
