As long as I pass the EKG and MUGA test, I'll be starting the adjuvant trial they're currently recruiting for after Christmas. It's for people diag. stage I-III who have completed treatment and are currently NED. One of the requirements is that you cannot have received herceptin. It's a random, double blind trial where you are radomized to either receive Tykerb or a placebo and neither your dr. nor you knows which you are receiving and you take it for one year. I was diag. in July 2002 and was unable to receive herceptin as I didn't qualify for a clinical trial so I'm very happy to hopefully being able to take part in this trial.
