I have wanted to join this trial since last summer when my oncologist first told me it would be available after I finished with my TCH regimen this July. But I won't get the chance. I unfortunately learned yesterday from his trials nurse that my gender makes me ineligible. I will have to find some other way to get exposure to a tyrosine kinase inhibitor like Neratinib. Perhaps there is a CAM regimen that would help.

Despite this set back, I am grateful to all the ladies who have signed up for the trial and by their efforts will advance the knowledge base for treating Her2 BC.
