Re: I Didn't Get T-DM1

Wow Karen - can't believe they won't let you take tdm-1 if you wanted to. You totally made the right decision to ditch. I turned down this study as well as I was freaked out about the high dosage of x and t req'd. Now, I am sooooooo glad I did that. x and t did nothing for me, but if it would jeopardize getting tdm-1 eap - screw that.

thanks for the update -

Kim
