Re: ALTTO Trial - Herceptin / Tykerb
I have volunteered for the ALTTO trial. I will complete all of the consent forms today. My chemo meds will be 6 doses of TCH which should begin in the next week or two. I'm hoping that I get the Tykerb pill. I will let you know what "arm" I'm placed in as soon as it is decisioned.
