THP - what does it mean?

THP is an acronym of the new set of chemo and targeted treatment drugs that I just started on 4/25.

T - Taxol (chemo)

H - Herceptin (targeted chemo)

P - Perjeta (targeted chemo)

Here are a few links that I found helpful and informative.

Scroll down to HER2-positive tumors - https://ww5.komen.org/BreastCancer/TheChemotherapyDrugs.html

This site talks about taxotene which is a similar to taxol - https://www.lbbc.org/learn/treatments-and-research/chemotherapy/common-chemotherapy-regimens/thp-docetaxel-trastuzumab

Detailed info about each drug - http://chemocare.com

As my body works through this drug and I pay attention to learn about what side effects I may experience, I’ll keep everyone posted.

Again, I will end this blog with a HUGE thank you to all of you that is always sending their love, prayers, support, gifts, check-ins, your time, your ear, and your voice of reason (God knows sometimes this gal needs it).

Always grateful for my God’s love, grace, mercy, compassion, and listening to all of our prayers!
