Re: 5 year's out from stage 3 Her2 pos 35 pos nodes

I have just signed up for the Phase III ALTTO Clinical trial. I'm scheduled to begin chemo on Aug. 19th. I have to wait until my visit with the chemo nurse for lab work on Aug.16th to find out what arm I will be placed in. I'm prayerful that I will receive Tykerb in addition to the Taxotere, Carboplatin, & Herceptin.
