I'm 4 years out from diagnosis and tx and am now NED. I had stage 1 IDC, nodes neg, lumpectomy, dose-dense chemo, rads and Herceptin for a yr (was er/pr+ and Her2 +). I've looked for trials for adjuvant use of Lapatinib and have found only trials for people very recently out of tx. Has anyone heard about use of this drug to further protect people like myself who've been through tx already? (Well, I am still on Arimidex for another 2 yrs).

Thanks and gentle hugs to all,
Liza
