Update
I had a preliminary appointment this week with my new onc about the upcoming TEACH trial, and will be seeing her again to discuss it further in a few weeks. We talked about the common side effects of fatigue, rash and diarrhea. Although I could end up with either the lapatinib or the placebo I am interested in the possibility of being in the trial. If the side effects are pretty common and I end up with them then it would seem generally rather obvious whether or not I would be getting the placebo.... (!)
There were other things we needed to discuss at this visit, and I don't think the exact particulars of getting patients going with the trial were at hand, so I hope to be more informed before heading back to Alaska in a few weeks. I am alternatively interested in vaccines as well.
