I wanted to share this with you all. I talked to Dr, Lupe Salazar, UW/Seattle in San Antonio and she said she is working on a new trial Phase I for skin mets to start in April. I will be calling her in a couple of weeks for more info and will be posting. It is a topical application trying to activate the T-Cells of the skin to fight the skin mets. One needs to be off the Herceptin. At that time that is all she knew. She told me to call her in March and she would know more. I am still in Florida but should be home in two weeks. I will keep you all posted. I am very excited about this trial. Wishing you all the best. hugs, Sandy
