Trial appears to have failed for my Maryann. She is completing second cycle while we start planning to have IT herceptin. Local neuro-onc will administer this. Only 4 patients known worldwide to have tried this. I've seen the study from Europe on this (2 patients), the local guy has one patient on it and I don't know where the 4th is. Waiting for more info on how they are doing with it and where they were when starting.

Anyone else out there investigating IT herceptin or doing it?
