I asked my onc about herceptin and tykerb being given together, b/c intuitively it makes sense - one hits the tumor from the outside and one hits it from the inside. He told me that yes it does make sense on paper, but that the data isn't there yet, and he wants to wait til they know nore about the toxicity of the two drugs given together.
Is there anyone who is currently on both????
