Our meeting with Dr Intrivici today was incredibly emotional - tears all round.
Jane's cancer has infected her liver and also there is a nodule close to her spleen. We were thinking that this was the beginning of the end but hopefully not - the fat lady hasn't started singing yet. Jane starts a new <a href="http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/cancers-in-general/treatment/cancer-drugs/trastuzumab-emtansine/trastuzumab-emtansine" target="_blank">regime of chemotherapy</a> tomorrow and once again every three weeks. It will mean there will be side effects as it works by following a Herceptin marker to the cancer cells and then destroying them so she may possibly lose her hair again and will be susceptible to infections. Better she loses her hair than her life.
