You are so clear in explaining this. Oh my gosh, I admire you so much. So glad to hear that things are going so well in your journey. I think it's fascinating that Herceptin is like an antibiotic. My prayers for your continued healing.

I have completed 10 rounds of phesgo. This video was very clear and informative. Thanks a lot dear❤

Dear Sarah, thank you so much for explaining so clearly how Herceptin and Perjeta work.I am just coming to the end of my Chemotherapy journey and starting with the immunotherapy treatment. I have found your videos very helpful and love the way you

Hi. Thanks for sharing your experience. I was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer which was hormone negative and HER2 positive. I had surgery followed by chemo. Then Herceptin. Before starting chemo my cardiac assessment was normal. By the 3rd dose of Herceptin inj I was very breathless. I did another echocardiography examination and found out that I have developed heart failure and valvular regurgitation. I had to stop Herceptin and now I am on medical treatment for heart failure. In my case it was not the cancer but the treatment for it especially Herceptin that gave me most problem.

Hi Sarah! Your explanation was very well versed and easy to understand even without a medical background. Thank you for sharing. I have hormone neg, HER2+ stage 2A and I just got done with TCHP chemo and had my 1st round of perjeta and herceptin. I still have 11 more rounds to go. Thank you. Now I know why the doctor recommended both perjeta and herceptin together, because the original plan was just herceptin. Im praying for your fast healing.

I have been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer there is o in my breast it’s in my liver, stomach and virginal wall it’s ER & PR negative her2 positive. I have been on paclitaxel 12 weeks every 3 weeks perjeta and herceptin. Yesterday I was told NED but have been told I have to be on Perjeta and Herceptin every 3 weeks for the rest of my life. My question is why is mine life and you get to stop. I’m asking because you said you have studied science a bit so maybe you could explain this to me.

Best explanation I have ever heard.

Hi did you have muscle aches with herceptin

I was diagnosed with invasive Ductal carcinoma Metastatic Breast cancer April 2020 I am positive for 3 I get H&apart ever 3 weeks and also Ibrance and injections of Faslodex and XGeva once a month.i have had very few side effects. I get echo cardiograms ever 3 months and PET Scan every 4 months

NED!!! That’s amazing. So glad your your great news. It’s been a journey for sure, thanks for sharing💕🧶

Hi Sarah, this is the place and time to overshare with gusto!

Hi Sarah, I'm so pleased that you're coming to the end of your treatment with a great outcome. 🌞🌞🌞

Both cancer and the treatment for cancer are brutal. I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through this. ❤Your sharing throughout has been wonderful, clear, smart, honest, and helpful to many. I’m so relieved to see how well you’re healing, and grateful you’ve had med access and a supportive, capable partner. You are a delight!! 🧡💗

Hey Sarah, am glad you’re doing well on ‘this’ side of 2b 💪. Thanks for the more scientific deep dive on monoclonal antibody therapies…

Sarah, Thank you for sharing your information about your treatment side effects. It has been very reassuring and has reduced some of the fear of the unknown. My very best regards!

Hi Sarah, thanks for the great video. I live on Vancouver island and have just completed my second cycle of chemo and Herceptin/Perjeta (same treatment plan as you). I have lymph node involvement and could not fathom getting treatment without Perjeta. Thankfully my husband has excellent health coverage through work that covers the entire cost of Perjeta (minus $3500 that the drug company will reimburse us for). I am blown away with Canada’s decision to not fund Perjeta. It is a false belief that we have free health care in Canada. I believe we have 3 tier health here: tier 1: The rich will pay for the privatized American healthcare, tier 2: private insurance pays for better treatments (as in my case), tier 3: Canada’s “free” public health, that actually costs Canadians a lot of money (I read 1/3 of all tax dollars go to healthcare).

Thank you for your useful information. My wife was recently diagnosed and your videos are helpful, informative.

Thank you so much for making this video 💗

Thus was very helpul and detailed, thanks for sharing.

Thank you for such a great video. I completed my 6 rounds of TCHP this month and will continue with the Herceptin and Perjeta. Instead of getting them through my port I get them as a 10 minute injection in my thigh. The injection is called Phesgo. A lot quicker that way. I’m in the US, and I have a friend also in the US getting IV Herceptin and Perjeta. I wonder why the injection is not used more since it’s a much shorter way of giving it, perhaps an insurance thing?
