@droberson1915, welcome. May I ask more about the phase 2 clinical trial you're in? Is it a new chemotherapy protocol being tested? Were you able to take a lower dose although it is a clinical trial? What side effects were you experiencing?

Gosh, that's a lot of questions when you just entered the virtual room. Feel free to only answer what you wish.

The test medication is Neratinib 40 mg. I went from 9, to 6 , to 3 pills. The side effects were extreme diarrhea, nausea, vomiting. After lowering the dosage, the side effects have gotten better.
