Wink Re: I Didn't Get T-DM1

Going back to your original cancer center is a great idea, because even if you try Xeloda and Tykerb there you have more flexibility of trying other things with that combo or switching to another combo quickly if that combo doesn't work. Trials have alot of rules.
You can always keep looking for a T DM1 expanded access trial or keep your fingers crossed like the rest of us that T DM1 will be approved by the FDA sooner rather than later. It will be available to almost everyone who needs it after it is approved. I heard the drug company is planning to reapply to the FDA sometime in 2012.
Is there someone at your medical center who you can talk to about Milk Thistle by itself or Milk Thistle in combo with dandelion and/or artichoke. All are supposed to be good for the liver.
I have taken milk thistle everyday since my diagnosis and never had a liver met or abnormal liver enzymes.
