Chelee, in the last decade Roche has made fortunes from Herceptin. One would think that Genentech is kind of indebted to the inventor of this fantastic drug and would be willing to lean over backward to accommodate Dr. Slamon if at all possible. If the good doctor found that best way for you to proceed with your therapy is to get enrolled into a TDM1 trial, then it's hard to believe that Genentech wouldn't welcome this opportunity to see if doctor's recommendation could be implemented.
Maybe contacting the company directly might present you with some more options. Goodluck.
