Clinical trials
Hello, sounds like you are off and running!
There is a forum here for clinical trial discussions.
But also, to search for clinical trials, use:
clinicaltrials.gov
When I met with my oncologist in 2002 for the first time and asked about clinical trials, instead of referring me to the cancer learning center or telling me to search clinicaltrials.gov, his answer was confusing and discouraging to me. All he said was "There are thousands of them." Because of that, at the time I missed out entirely on a possible opportunity to get in on a trial for the use of trastuzumab. Keep rolling, learn as much as you can!
