Tykerb Trial after Completing Herceptin?

Has anyone with "only" locally invasive her2 done a clinical trial with Tykerb after finishing herceptin? My onc mentioned this a few months ago. I see him in October for my 1st 3 month f/u after finishing a year of herceptin.
What about a bone agent to keep bone mets away?
Part of me says to look for any trial that might influence staving off mets and the other part of me says leave well enough alone and don't go looking for more side effects.
I really value what everyone here has gone through and your thoughts and ideas. There isn't another group on the planet who has thought and researched this more than you all here.

Thanks for any input
