herceptin & mcc-dm1 criteria question

[Pam P]

I tried to qualify for this trial, but am told I can't because I don't have 'measurable disease'. I have bone mets and am told that they don't qualify as measurable even though they show up on pet & ct scans. I looked at the info on clinicaltials.gov on the study and I don't see any mention of 'measurable disease', just mbc, her2+, etc.

I really want to get into this trial -- anyone have any clarification on this that I could use to appeal getting in?

If not I'm due to start taxol & avastin next week & am dreading that regime.

Thanks. Pam
