Re: Chemo AND Tykerb & Herceptain??
Brenda,
You are so right. When I was in the phase II trial at Mayo, the protocal for the trial had already been dropped to 750 mg per day. When I was taking the Taxol along with the Herceptin and Tykerb, my dose had to be lowered to 500mg per day. Then when I was on just the Herceptin and Tykerb, the goal was a 1000 mg per day, but my onc decided we would go back to 750 and then to 1000 if my body did OK. I stayed at 750 until I finished.
