Great info, I tell you one thing...if I have a pain...I can make it a symptom..lol. Have been having pain between my shoulders and of course I start thinking bone mets. The thing about Herceptin and Tykerb together though still leaves me hanging. If they don't have enough data on how they work together, how are they going to get the data unless they use them together on patients...I would definately leave tykerb for later if it weren't for help protecting against brain mets..which I'd rather not wait and let happen. How sucessful is tykerb in protecting against brain mets anyway...do they know? sherryg683
