I think general practioners would be reluctant to prescribe off label a new drug (like Tykerb with which they are not familiar) that is normaly prescribed by an onc. (In some countries regulation of public health may allow only specialists to prescribe certain drugs weither off label or not).
But it does not prevent you from asking your family doctor.
However an other specialist such as a neuro oncologist or an hematologist may be better inclined to do so.
