Barbara:

I checked into a trial out in CA, specifically for ladies who never received Herceptin. I believe the criteria was you had to have been diagnosed in the year 2004 and later. I was diagnosed in 2003. I spoke to her in detail about the trial and she in fact mentioned the TEACH Trial. Are there any other Herceptin trials that you are aware of that I might be eligible for? How do we know which is better at this point, Herceptin or Tykerb. I guess that is the million $ question!
Thoughts?
