HERS2 chemo?

Hi Spindrift

Im Her2 pos . DIAGNOSED IN 2019  My treatment plan and story on profile . I was told that Herceptin injections to reduce recurrence risk had to be preceded by chemo as N.I.C.E. instruction .
So in short MX .chemo, Herceptin then bisphosphonate infusions .

Should be finished in Nov/Dec.

Things change all the time and I know there is a new drug regime for HER2 + If I was you I’d ask your BCN for a conversation so she can explain things to you . 

Everyone will want you to be fully aware and comfortable with plan so will be willing to help 

Hi,

Thanks ever so much. Will do.

Good luck with yours.

Hi I was diagnosed a year ago and had a lumpectomy on 2nd August and chemo began in October and ended on 9th February. Because I'm HER2 I started Herceptin injections, the first 3 were given with my chemo. I'm about to have my 11th one on Wednesday and then I have 7 left. 

I do think that Herceptin has to be given alongside chemo still. 

I started straight away on chemo for ER  and HER 2+. EC first chemo x 3 then docetaxyl with herceptin last 3. 
lumpectomy then because there were small residual cells left I started on TDM1 which is exemestane and herceptin together for 14 cycles. Completed them all in June and on letrozole and 2 zoledronic acid 6 monthly left x
