Re: ALTTO Trial - Herceptin / Tykerb
I have volunteered for the ALTTO trial. I will complete all of the consent forms today. My chemo meds will be 6 doses of TCH which should begin in the next week or two. I'm hoping that I get the Tykerb pill. I will let you know what "arm" I'm placed in as soon as it is decisioned.

Re: ALTTO Trial - Herceptin / Tykerb
Leslie--Thank you for volunteering for this trial. It will shed extremely important information for one of these days. And that will occur sooner than otherwise because of brave souls like you. Even if you don't get the Tykerb that you want, the Herceptin should work wonders for you too. And you have the port---so you are ready to go either way.
Hoping for the best for you---
