Enhertu update

It’s been 2.5 months since returning home from Denmark. I went straight into treatment, then recovery down time, then into unpacking, and reintegration back into life in Durham. Since being back I have continued to get Enhertu infusions every three weeks. 

I have had two sets of scans since being on Enhertu and both showed roughly the same thing: some growth of the metastatic liver lesions, some shrinkage of other liver lesions, and some increased activity in my bones, specifically in my hips, femurs, and a few vertebrae. I call this type of report “mixed” and generally it requires a closer look at blood work trends in order to make a decision about my disease status and whether or not I will remain on the current treatment regimen. 

Most recently I had mixed results on a liver MRI and a chest/abdomen/pelvis CT scan. I had blood work done as well which showed that 2 of my 4 liver enzymes were fine, 1 was creeping back up, and 1 was REALLY high still but actually trending downward. So the decision is I stay the course. Enhertu continues to be working, albeit not giving me miraculous results.  My oncologist says this is “stable disease.” 

I am publishing a couple of other posts today with more details about the treatment itself, but I wanted to make sure you had a quick update on the state of things right now.

A HUGE thank you to those that have been able to provide meals for us on treatment and recovery days. This has been incredibly helpful for Andrew and me as it’s one less thing we have had to balance. Here is a link for the meal train sign up. We add dates every six-ish weeks as I learn when my next treatments will be.
