I am in the BCIRG 006 trial and so far I'm NED. I was assigned to the taxotere/carboplatin x6 and Herceptin for a year. I began the trial January 15, 2004, and had my last treatment of Herceptin was January 4, 2005. My physician takes tumor markers but beyond that nothing other than the usual yearly mammogram, plus I've requested sonograms since the tumor never showed on a mammogram. Next month I'll be getting a follow-up MUGA for the trial. At this point I'm still being checked every three months. My doctor did send me an email telling me that although the results were not out on the BCIRG 006 trial, it was looking very promising, and she sent the news about the other two trials.
If you have any more questions, I'll be happy to answer them.
