Re: Enrolled in T-dm1 Teresa trial
Hi Kelly, I am so sorry to hear. you have been through a hard time and some bad luck. This lottery is so inhumane and I still have to see what I will be randomised in myself. It is so hard to feel like we are a number/data and that our chance at getting a drug that may work is not as important than their blimmin data, so wrong.
In the meantime I hope that the phycisian's choice turns out to be the right one for you. Indeed Gemzar can work well for some.
Sending you good vives
