Hello beautiful ladies,

Yes the trial are tablets like tykeb and it targets same epitope as tykerb but block them in a different ways, apparently 6 times stronger.

I so wish I could have it with herceptin (and a pi3k inhibitor) as I can imagine it would work even better..but I am a lab rat..

its in phase 1b at the moment only in UK (london) and Japan (where the company is from) I think they wanted a foothold in Europe wich is why they opened a trial centre here. I was the last breast cancer allowed to be enrolled in that phase 1 as they are also trialling it on other her2 or egfr positive cancer such as oesophagal cancer(some have very limited other treatment). Another lady with BC got a 29% reduction news last week at the trial centre.

Side effect are a bit more than tykerb i would say and I had a couple of rough weeks, but nothing compared to chemo. I have to say my skin went quite dry (I naturally have a good soft skin). That said the side effect have subsided in the past week.

I have also to say that I am worried as I can feel something in my throat again and I do not feel as energetic as I did few weeks ago: tight back & breathing less well.. so i am worried that things are growing again. I am thinking that they had reduced more before but are now growing again. So i find it hard to be celebrating fully but I will keep you posted, the next few weeks should let me know if things are kept at bay and hopefully I will feel as I did in January shortly again, I hope I hope go unicorn, go
