Re: Neratinib Trial 09
Neratinib is the same "kind" of drug as tykerb. It is very promising and the researchers are very excited because it too crosses the blood brain barrier and seems to work very well. I understand that if it trials well, it will get consideration to be hurried up thru getting to all us patients. I just wanted to be part of finding out if it will help us destroy the "evil BC"! But the answer is yes, I think so. I'll bet some of the others will know more than me. ma
