Neratinib Clinical Trial

[Ginny1956]

I started the Neratinib clinical trail 13 Jan 2011. First day I knew right away that I had the real thing. Within 3 hours of taking the 6 pills I had severe stomach cramps, nausea and mild diarrhea. The next day after talking to nurse day before I took the pills after I had breakfast but 3 hours later had mild stomach cramps, nausea and diarrhea but worse than the other day. Day three I took pills 30 minutes after breakfast and other than a little nausea nothing else. My fingers are crossed that my body is getting use to it. I do find that when I get stomach cramps or nausea that eating a saltine cracker or two helps.

I was diagnosed with stage IIIC HER2+ breast cancer in June 2009. I had a double mastectomy, 16 rounds of chemo, 25 radiation and 52 weeks of herceptin.
