Great news - Tykerb/Herceptin/Femara WORKING!!!!
 

Hi ladies. I posted a few weeks ago - I experienced progression after finishing TCH and then just being on Herceptin and Femara for 3 months. It was in that three months that I experienced progression in the tumors in my liver.

My oncologist thought that because my HER2 signaling pathway was still not being shut down completely by the Herceptin that the Femara didn't even have a chance to work. So she added Tykerb into the mix. Lo and behold - it is working like gangbusters (her favorite word, and now mine). Everything is shrunk in half in 6 weeks. I am thrilled that I can enjoy my holiday season in peace - and I just turned 31 two weeks ago.

I am my doctor's first patient on this particular combo - lots are Herceptin and Femara, but none on Tykerb, Herceptin and Femara - I feel like a trailblazer!! I am just so thankful that it is working!!!
