Re: what next?

I have been on Tykerb/Xeloda for the last 3 months....my docs have said the next step for me is to add Navelbine to the mix. Hopefully, this will hold me until T-DM1 is available to the general population. I also have Ixempra to try or could go back and try Gemzar and Taxotere/Taxol again.
How long were you on Tykerb and how long have you been on Xeloda? Could you take both together? I hate it when these drugs stop being effective!!!
I am hoping that they work at least a year for me.
