Hey Brenda,
Glad to see you are still hanging strong with T/X. When I failed T/X recently my onc put me on Navilbene/Herceptin, which seems to be going pretty well. However, we always talk about next steps and he thinks once I am done with this he will put me on maintenance Tykerb and Herceptin. He's hoping more data comes out on this at ASCO to help us see the way clear. Seems like there are many oncs trying to think out of the box on this one.
