Now were told it will take 6 weeks to get the TDM-1 under compassionate use at our location. Apparently the drug has never been administered here so there are some hoops that have to be jumped through. I cant imagine us sitting back for six weeks and doing nothing. Her doctors office went so far as to recommend looking into the Th3resa Study but my understanding is Barbs enrollment in the Emelia study last year would exclude her even though she technically did not participate because she was randomly assigned the Tykerb leg and we already had a script for the Tykerb. We decided to not get the Tykerb filled because it would have excluded her from the Emelia Study. It really is ridiculous to have to go through all this to get a drug that could really help. I was also told by an administrator at the hospital that if we pursue the Trial she would be excluded from further compassionate use. So if I understand all the crap they have thrown at us today we have no choice but to sit and wait 6 weeks for compassionate use.
