My onc told me this week that he would recommend Tykerb for me now, in place of the Herceptin I have been on for the past 18 months. My onc says it inhibits the crosstalk between HER1 and Her2. But my insurance will not cover it and it is $9000/month. He will keep me on Herceptin until the end of this year and then decide what to do. Are any of you Stage IIIers on Tykerb?
