Hi..

Well these posts seems to fit right into everything that I have been looking into.
Alaska....I seem to be in the same boat as you in getting late herceptin. I was looking into clinical trials to see if any offered late herceptin. In my mind I was thinking I would rather have it sooner rather than later. But you bring up a good point about other clinical trials not open if you have already received herceptin. This is boggling my mind. My onco said if I had more postive nodes than one, then she may start me on it. However with one positive node, she didn't think it likely or wise. I think I could persue it with her but I just don't know what is the right thing to do at this point. At the time of my dx 4/03 (inished treatment 12/03) I was not even informed of the potential dangers for being HER2+++ so at the time I didn't even inquire about the clinical trials offered. (I am still mad as heck about that, but trying to move on !)
If anything else comes up about clinical trial, I would love for you to share it with me.
Thanks
Kristen
