Re: Herceptin/Tykerb clinical trial for early stage

Hello everybody,

My clinical trial has ended, I cant feel the lump any more, but the MRI did measure something @ 1cm * 1cm. The report said that the area was minimally enhanced.

So, I am having a lumpectomy and axillary node removal tomorrow 03/23, will keep you updated with the pathology report specifics...

Re: Herceptin/Tykerb clinical trial for early stage

Good luck lady! My lumpectomy was Feb 9, tumor 1.7cm and recovery wasn't bad at all. I did get this weird swishing sound afterwards from fluid filling up quickly where the surgeon removed the tissue.( He doesn't use drains as he feels you get a better cosmetic result.) I'm thinking great thoughts for you!
