Starting Taxotere, Perjeta (Pertuzamab), and Herceptin

Trish03

After almost 10 years, I've recently been dx Stage IV with liver mets, and I start chemo tomorrow. I've posted in the Stage IV forum but thought I'd post here, too, since this section specifically deals with chemo. My onc is starting me on the Taxotere, Perjeta, Herceptin combo because he said that it got a good response in trials last year.

If any of you are on this course of treatment, would you mind sharing your experience? I'm sure there's a of information on here, but I haven't been able to find it yet.

Hugs, Trish

Hey Trish,

I will be starting on this regimen(PTH) on July 18th.  I would love to follow along with you and see how you are doing as I will be about 3 weeks behind you.  I will be thinking of you today as you start your treatments.  By the way, I love your smile!
