Eric,
I am on the Herceptin MCC DM1 phase 1 trial and it is very easily tolerated. I can't think of an easier drug to handle other than Herceptin alone. The only complication I have had is that it raises liver enzymes in some people. As a result, I had to forgo treatment this past week. Nevertheless, in just four weeks this has been a miracle drug for me. I had constant pain in my hip and couldn't sleep. I am now pain free and work full time teaching third grade. I am being treated at the Dana Farber.
Good luck,
Barbara H.
