herceptin vs tykerb

Hi Esther,

I, too, gained weight on Herceptin. I was on it for almost 2 years and am now on Tykerb.

Why did you go back on Herceptin? I was hesitant to go off herceptin, because it seemed to work for me and kept mets away. Tykerb passes the blood brain barrier and prevents the crosstalk between HER1 and HER2. But I still wonder if I should have stayed on Herceptin since it was working for me.

Good luck on losing weight. It has been very difficult for me.

Love and prayers,
Connie
