Trial Trastuzumab-MCC-DM1(One more on this trial)
After all kinds of tests the trial started on November the 5th of 2007. So far there is not much to it outside of the tests before the start. During the first infusion they took my blood pressure, pulse and temperature every 15 minutes. That was a little annoying but worth it.
They are looking for more candidates for this trial. Right now there are a hundred total people on this trial nationally and five in North Carolina.
One other thing they are looking at is that with the combination of the drug there is a possibility that there will not be heart damage. Further more, it's been easy to tolerate for me so far.
I will keep you gals up to date as it goes along.
