Any One on Perjeta?

Soon as I am approved for Perjeta, I will be taking it instead of Carboplatin. Has any one else taking it? Side effects? I know it is new to this country.

Since I'm triple neg Perjeta
Since I'm triple neg Perjeta is not an option for me. I do know that it did very well in clinical trials and the IBC community is excited about it. So I hope you get approved quickly, that you are able to tolerate it well, and most important, that it works for you!!

Hugs,

Perjeta

Good morning to all of you!!

I am due to start Perjeta this week, triple positive Stage IV.  I am SO excited (of course, I may not feel it once the se's kick in).  I spent ALOT of time online researching the drug, and am very happy with what I see!!  At this point, I am looking to treat my cancer as chronic, and keep it from spreading anywhere else.  I feel that the Perjeta is my best hope.  Initially, I was only due to start Tamoxiflen, but after my onc visited with his cronies and they discussed my case, they decided to start chemo.  I was thrilled!  Especially since I endured a rather difficult time with the port insertion and it was upsetting me to no end that it was there and was not going to be used at all since I was dx'ed Stage IV.

I don't remember the name of the other woman starting it, but perhaps we can keep in touch and see how the other is faring with this medicine?  I think we are "lucky" to be receiving it.  Read it was a "Godsend" to Stage IV bc patients!

Warm wishes to all!

How have you been doing on perjeta?  I am due to start it this week.  Diag. with stage IV a few weeks ago.  My oncologist is giving me Zometa for the mone mets, herceptin and Zoledronic and Carboplatin.  Don't know how this mix will work for me.  I am a mess and have so much support but don't want to accept it from anyone.  Shutting everyone out.  I feel I am dealing with this diagnosis as best I can, without depression meds, but don't know how long this will last.  Still hopeless in NY.  I am 42 years old.

Thanks for listening
