Wink Re: Always Herceptin for Her2+

Hi pibikay,
It sounds like your wife's oncologist may be thinking about Tykerb, which is a pill for her2 breast cancer. It is usually given with a chemo pill called Xeloda or with I. V. Herceptin. Occassionally it is given with another type of I. V. type of chemo or some other drug.
