I May Have Made The Team!
After waiting since June for admittance to the Tykerb trial, yesterday I signed the acutal Consent Form. So now, even though I've had most scans within the last month, I must have a bone scan, brain scan, CT and echo within 2 weeks of starting the actual med. If all looks good, I will be stay on the Xeloda, put pulled off the Herceptin. I'll stay on the Zometa monthly for bones.
Turns out my onc is heading up the trial for whole state of Colorado. He may have known a bit more than he was letting on about time, but he didn't want me to jump ahead of the waiting game in case something changed. Yesterday, he told Mel and I that all of my torso pain in obviously the cancer progressing. So we must do all in our power to help the Tykerb work!
Love and light,
Lisa
