I did call today...at least the study still seems to be up & running since the menu option 8 did explain the study and asked if your Her2 & stage III or IV. I left my information so I will continue to keep my fingers crossed. I don't think they would still be accepting names for this study if it was full.

Brenda, it was mentioned by one member here that they are considering even some woman that might be a bit out of the criteria...so don't worry about being so close to the 36th month cut off. I'm past the 36 months but I'm still going to give it a try. Worse that can happen is they will tell me no.
