Re: Tykerb/ herception in stage 3a locally advanced patients

Thank you Bejuice I will search that. I am already on herceptine so not sure if I would be to late for that trial and since it is phase 3 can i wind up w/placebo. Since it sounds like this drug works..hopefully they will soon approve it for lower stage off trial.
Thank you for your help..please keep me posted if you find out any new info I will ask my oncologist also.
