Hi Cranegirl, Thanks for responding. Is this an IV administered or pill form? Did you go through a lot of testing to make sure you were eligible?
What part of the country do you live?

Love,
Dana

Hi DanaRT, Sorry its been a few days. I was out of town. The drug is delivered in pill form. 240 mg is the dose. Right now its six pills a day but soon a 240 mg pill will be available. I had to do a few tests to qualify for this study. A muga, a mamo, an EKG, chest Xray and some blood work. I believe you had to have taken Herceptin within two years of starting the study. There are a few side effects to the drug, the main one being diarrhea, so I thought for sure Id know if I was recieving the drug or the placebo. But so far Ive only had a consistant headache. Ive had a few other symptoms but Im not sure if its a side effect or I am attributing everything on the drug. I was the queen of side effects with TCH and Herceptin but if this is the Neratinib its been very easy. I live in southern California and Im doing the study with Breastlink Research and Dr. Waisman.
