Re: Neratinib Trial 09
I would recommend anyone go for this trial....the drug is so promising. Of course, it has to be appropriate in all the right ways, but I would do it again if I could. They marked my chart to allow me to take the drug as soon as it is approved as along as my heart issues get solved. I'll look forward to seeing more people get involved in trials.
I wanted to be in the trial so that I would be observed carefully and that I would have a "reason" (I don't always take good care of me) to go faithfully for the next 5 years! It's hard to go from such incredible care to being a "well" person!
Best wishes to all those volunteering. ma
