Hi Joletta,

I checked to see if Vanderbilt was still doing the trial I was on and it looks like they are. Here is the link:

I'm not sure if you would qualify since you are already on Herceptin but wanted to share the link with you. As you can see from my signature, this trial was a huge success for me.

In case this link doesn't work, this is the link to all trials offered and you can do a search using breast cancer.

Looks like you diagnosis is very similar to mine.

Best of luck to you!
