Hi to all,
It's been a while since I've posted. My onc. is submitting my paperwork to get into the Tykerb trial. We were waiting for the results from my echo to make sure my EF was greater than 50% and it was at 57%. Both me and my onc. are so excited that I will be in this trial.

Any advice or comments from anyone currently in this trial would be welcomed.

This site has given me so much info - it's wonderful!
