Nervous about trial exclusions

[eric]

Hi all,

After 3 weeks of low dose Adriamyacin, Caryn's markers have shot up and she is off to Sloan on Tuesday to discuss a new trial. While I do believe there are good trials out there like herceptin dmm1 I am very concerned that Caryn will be excluded from most due to previous treatment. Seems like the only available trials at Sloan will be phase 1. With the success rate of phase 1 trials being very low I want better odds for her! I know how important these trials are and I feel badly but I just don't want to risk losing the center of my kids universe and the best thing that's ever happened to me. I understand it but hate that the numbers are more important than the valuable lives that the drugs may save.

Thanks for listening!

Eric
