Hmm I have re-read Amy's and Ginny's entries about this trial. I have also sent an email to the researchers, but I doubt that I will qualify, since it has been over a year since my diagnosis.

NOTE: If anyone thinks that they might be interested in a clinical trial, most of the ones I have seen have required enrolling within that one-year window.

I am not sure that I want to know if I have the increased recurrence marker......will have to think about that.

And the drug sounds more than a little un-pleasant, unless they have some reasonable expectation that it will be effective against recurrence.

I doubt that I will have a decision to make anyway. I'll keep you posted.
