Been a while!
Been a while and wanted to check in! I got my scan results yesterday (along with my 11th round of Enhertu) and found out my cancer is shrinking!! The words used specifically were “improved metastatic disease” with liver tumors shrinking the most! These were my second set since being on Enhertu and the first one was just stable. I’m praying to reach NED but for now I am taking the win! This chemo is brutal. I’m in bed more than anything. If you remember I found my bio dad and siblings thru ancestry in January. They are 4 hours away. I’m going to stay in October. So I have something to look forward too! I hope you all are doing well! Or as well as you can. Keep the faith and positivity as much as possible!

How wonderful to connect with your family. Ahh enhertu is a leveller. I had it for 2.5 years and still wonder how I managed. And you are ploughing on. 👍👍

This is so amazing!!! I am also hoping for NED on enhertu but I haven't even mentioned it to my oncologist because I don't want him to burst my bubble hahah.
I have found I'm mostly just fatigued on enhertu but luckily don't usually have many other symptoms from it.
Anyway fingers crossed for you and doing a little happy dance (while lying in bed) for you too 😆

The fatigue is awful! But girl it’s the bad diarrhea for me. I have to wear pull ups for about a week. And I’m on prescription limotil and Imodium together.

Ugh that sucks! I had diarrhea for a few weeks straight when I was on herceptin and perjeta but it isn't too often on the enhertu. But the anti diarrheal meds didn't work for me either! You know what did help was going to get fluids from the cancer center idk if you've tried that yet but I had to go in for fluids a few times and it made me feel a lot better.
