Joy, I think this is great news! Is this the 3 week or the 1 week trial?
Either way, I hope you have some good books on tape or whatever now that you'll be joining the weekly DM1 day-trippers. They are very, well, anal (can I say that?) on this trial which is a good thing as the drug is so experimental. I'm glad they monitor everything so closely so they can get the dosage answers they need and keep us safe. Even though I had to get my last treatment pushed back
Of course, you've been round the block enough to know that everyone responds differently with respect to side effects. I started to list all the ones I've had in gory detail, but then I remembered you wanted ENcouragement, not DIScouragement!
So, I'll just say it is more toxic than regular herceptin but not as bad as chemo. In terms we can all understand, on the spectrum starting with lemonade --->margarita--->tequila shots, it's sort of a slushy weak maggie.
I know you will do great on this trial!
