Update time!
Just got my 3rd infusion of enhertu on Friday and I’ve been feeling great. One thing I’ve noticed is after a couple of days after infusion I get some fatigue and nausea but only for a couple days. I have one more infusion before my scans which let’s hope for some good news because I’m in need of it. I don’t like being left in the dark for so long but it’s part of it unfortunately.
I actually found out some news of my previous treatment. It was actually a mixed response but the bad outweighed the good and I believe my doctor didn’t tell me not to get my hopes up. The good portion of it was that there was some shrinkage of the main nodule in my lung, but the bad was all the spots that emerged. So hopefully this new drug (which was recently just approved and I’m the first patient my doctor has given it too works).
I’ll post updates when I got some more stuff for y’all. Thanks for being around like always and I hope things are going in your favor for everyone ❤️ -

@LexieCatIm super glad to hear things have been working out in your favor! Hopefully that treatment kicks it’s butt and gets you better.
Im going to be a collision repair tech, so fixing body work on cars and learning how to paint. Which is really what I want to do in life. I’m not letting this disease stop me from living life and advancing in it.
I’m currently a garage mechanic for my house so I know a lot but no by trade, just by tinkering. My pops has shown me a lot in there and I have thought myself as well.

Hey all,
I just got my second out of four infusions done yesterday with enhertu. Like last time this treatment shouldn’t be too hard on me like chemo was. I have been able to work and do thing I use to do like go to the gym and work on my project car. I forgot to mention I’m going to trade school! One thing I have learned with this disease is that it can beat you to the ground and keep you there if you let it, which had happened to me. Not being able to work, being stuck at home 24/7 and stuck in that neck brace threw me into a bad depression. But I realized what cancer was doing to me and I fixed it right away. Now a days I’m doing better and my neck injury has been as well. I look forward to good news my way because I know I’m due for it. Hoping this treatment works in my favor, I have a feeling it will. I hope each and everyone has been doing good and has had good things come there way in life. If not, I’m sorry but keep your head up because it does get better. ❤️

Hey all,
Quick update, I’ve been pretty good. I’ve managed my nausea with an anti acid pill I was prescribed. Other than that life has been pretty normal as it gets, no sickness or anything. I’ve been working again as well, I’m just waiting for my next infusion. Hopefully y’all are good and good news has come yall way.

Hey all,
Treatment hasn’t been too hard on me. It’s actually a lot easier than the chemo definitely was. I’ll be on this for 4 infusions so I hope it works, I feel as it will but let’s hope. I’ve been having a lot of nausea last 2 days, I’ve been taking compazine but it hasn’t worked that well. Any other remedies for nausea? I could definitely use it. Doc said it’s the disease causing it but I feel like it’s left over symptoms from chemo. Thank you all, much love and luck to all. ❤️

Hey all,
Treatment with the new drug starts today. I found out it’s called enhertu and it targets the mutation in my blood to kill it off or put it under control. Let’s hope it works and does the trick!

Hey all,
Quick update on my targeted therapy. It was accepted by insurance and I’ll be starting tomorrow. Let’s hope this does the trick and controls this thing!

I’m actually going to be getting the targeted therapy if it’s approved by insurance which seems to be more of a trial since it isn’t used in treating lung cancer. I saw my oncologist about the scans already and they weren’t good but he only told me what he was able to read and it wasn’t good so when I saw the report I can tell everything else wasn’t good either.
Im glad to see your hanging in there with your trial and I really hope it does good for you. Hang in there!

Hey all,
I’ve been doing much better mentally. Going to therapy has helped a lot and my therapist has seen Improvements within the last week. I’ve gotten back into my main hobby which is building my project car and it’s brought me happiness.
In other news my scans where yesterday and most likely will be told the results today. I’m very nervous of the results but I know in my gut I’m due for good news so let’s hope for something good from the treatments. My 3rd infusion is today as well, after this one more left before I’m just left on immunotherapy.
I want to thank y’all for being there for me when I’ve most needed it and this time I’ve hit my worst. I know I don’t post much or check the community that much either but I hope each and everyone of y’all has received good news lately. ❤️

Hey all,
Giving an update since it’s been a minute. My mental health as taken a massive hit since my break up and it’s spiraled into more than just my break up. It’s spiraled into being stuck in my home making it feel like a prison, the cancer and all the things it’s taken away and put me through. It’s a lot that I’ve been dealing with and attempting to cope.
Today I had labs and it showed that I’m more anemic then I was. Which explains why I had to leave work when I attempted to go back. The dizziness I had caused me to leave work early, I felt fine and it hit me out of no where. So on Monday I have to get a blood transfusion, which is a whopping 5-6 hours long. I also get scans next week to see how the chemo has affected me and I really hope for a good sign, that anxiety has been hitting me the closer it gets.
I really just want to return to a normal life.. or somewhat normal with what I have. I really feel like I hit rock bottom with everything that’s been going on. I needed to vent somewhere, I hope everyone has been okay and has had good news come towards them. ❤️

Thank you all for the support. I’ve been in a very dark place these last days. I’ve reached out to a therapist for me to see about all the issues in my life. The cancer and all the stress that comes with it and this breakup that has hit me really hard. I’ll check in when I can, hope everyone is doing good.

@Judy M2 my neurosurgeon doesn’t want manipulation of my neck so no physical therapy.
My second infusion has so far been smooth but of course life has to hit me in all the ways it can. My gf of 1 year and half decided it was best to leave me and end our relationship. Ive been destroyed the last 2 days and haven’t ate much at all. This all just feels like a big nightmare..

Hey all,
I've been feeling much better thankfully. All side effects from the vaccine have subsided. Mucus is still a pain in the rear but I can manage, plus I spoke to my doctor about managing it and she gave me options. Today is my second infusion so wish me luck! I have scans soon to check on the status of everything so hopefully they’ll be good.

Had a quick question, how long does side effects such as nausea and vomiting last after the initial infusion date? I got my Covid vaccine 4 days ago and I’m still getting hit with nausea and vomiting. Today was only once which is better than the last few days. I kinda blame the mucus as it’s making me gag and I constantly keep spitting it out.
-
@LexieCatim glad to hear everything is going good for you. I really hope that trial ends up working out so you can kick that baddie out.
I do have both Zofran and Compazine which I have taken. Zofran doesn’t seem to work as well since everytime I throw up, I have taken the Zofran and it never works. I woke up today better, still a little bit of nausea from the phlegm being stuck in my throat but that’s it. Hopefully the day will be easier to get through today. -
Hey all,
it’s been a minute so I figured I’d give a small update. I’ve gotten through the main course of that virus besides the mucus. It’s gonna stick around for a while longer I know for sure as my pops still coughing it up too.
I got my 2nd dose of the Covid vaccine and it’s been kicking my butt for the last day. Constant nausea and fatigue all day, it’ll pass I know for sure but the nausea mixes with the mucus and next thing you know my lunch is in the trash.Next infusion is next week along with my port placement. I’ll give an update along with those two things. Stay strong y’all ❤️

I feel as the virus is really affecting my Appetite, i ate more today but still not enough. Unfortunately none of the medicinal dispensaries in my state don’t sell edible thc brownies or gummies of that sort.
Im pulling through as much as I can, constant dizziness, headache from coughing so much and all the mucus. But I’ll be better soon I know it. If I got through the
esophagitis I can get through this. Thanks for the support everyone, I’ll give another update as soon as I have one. ❤️

Hey all!
Update for everyone, today I’ll be getting my fourth dose of enhertu. After this dose I’ll be due for more pictures to see how everything is going. Hopefully I’m due for some good news like I’m been hoping for and continue this treatment. Lately I’ve been pretty fatigued and nauseous so lying down has been my remedy most of the time. I’ll update you guys with results once I get them, fingers crossed 🤞🏼
