Dear all

I know its very anecdotal but I feel the good initial response to Tykerb( skin mets on my arm just melted away) is due to the fact it was taken after the herceptin - whilst still in my system. I really want to try Herceptin and tykerb together , However I am not sure if Tykerb has ven been submitted to the TGA in Australai yet and fear it may be a long time . I am trying to find out about its approval in Australai but it is proving difficult.Joe - are you aware of any info?

love
linda
