This would take place after surgery, possibly as long as 11 weeks after surgery. I am also considering a trip two weeks into the first cycle (21-day cycle) and worry about side effects.

Members discussed treatment options for HER2 positive endometrial cancer, focusing on combinations like carboplatin, paclitaxel, and Herceptin, as well as newer targeted therapies like Herceptin Hylecta, Phesgo, and Enhertu. Several members shared personal treatment journeys, including how Herceptin eventually stopped working and led to switching to Enhertu, and how a new oncologist advised against Phesgo due to heart toxicity concerns with hypertension. A recurring theme was the importance of discussing clinical trials and newer drug options with your medical team to find the best and most personalized treatment path.

My new oncologist told me that Phesgo for someone with HER2 positive endometrial cancer was not beneficial enough compared to someone with HER3, and the side effect of diarrhea has been difficult for some, as well as more heart toxicity for someone with hypertension like me, so I took her advice to do injected Herceptin Hylecta (if my insurance allows, otherwise Herceptin).

Side effects of enhertu

I didn't ask, but I expect they save Enhertu for cases that have progressed further, like yours. It sounds like Phesgo is similar to Enhertu in that way.

What about Enhertu? Herceptin stopped working for me so I was switched to Enhertu. I will have my third treatment tomorrow. My tumor is very HER2 positive 3+. For me Herceptin was easier to tolerate and had less side effects than Enhertu. But everyone is different. Best of luck to you. Marcia

I wonder if anyone on this website is participating in the clinical trial and can give us their experiences on these new combos. I was told the participants would learn which arm they were randomized to at the beginning of the treatment.
