Unfortunately no. There is not even a clinical trial yet. The drug is unavailable and hasn't even been determined to be safe in humans (just because a drug similar to it is, doesn't mean it is) They don't know the proper dose or scheduling of dosing for it nor that it is effective in humans. They basically tried it out on cell cultures in Petri-type dishes.

Sorry about your April Fool's Day diagnosis.

You found an excellent site to hear about what your choices may be, what others have experienced as well as what new drugs are being used in trials, what non-drug substances may be good or bad for your breast cancer, how to deal with all that comes with diagnosis and treatment as well as some news about new things being discovered.

There are more improvements in treatment of her2+ breast cancer than any other type of breast cancer and more are on the way. So although it previously was listed as one with "dire prognosis" now it may be considered a relatively fortunate diagnosis as at least there are drugs shown to be effective for it. Not all drugs are effective for all people and they are finding there are subtypes of her2+ breast cancer that behave differently and may need different treatment--but at least it is an area of active research with REAL progress being made.

Best of luck!
