Hi, Thanks for the thread, I had read it.

My concern is that Genentech may only provide this drug to the women who are ---- currently on this trial---- letting them recieve it from their local oncologist. I am hoping women will call so they understand the great need there is for them to supply it to any woman who fits the criteria, even if that woman was NOT enrolled in the trial.

Traveling to the "closest" expanded access facility is not an option for me, therefore I won't be on this trial. So, according to what Genentech is proposing I would not be able to get this locally unless Genentech changes how they are currently writing up their ammended protocol to say.

Also, I talked to the nurse who was at the "closest" facility to me and she said this ----trial is closing ---in about 1 month.
