Joy - it's a research company (Kudos Pharmaceuticals) Phase II trial. A pill (well actually 8 pills) I take 2 times a day designed to repair teh BRCA 1 defect to my DNA. Someone was able to find info from the Phase I trial on another thread...maybe search all my posts (there aren't too many) and you can find the excerpt from the article. No side effects, maybe a little fatigue but I can't say for sure that TBFW is the cause...Anyway, so far so good :-)
