Re: Tykerb/ herception in stage 3a locally advanced patients
Hi CDE,
I was put on Tykerb when I experienced the recurrence. Before the recurrence, I was just on Herceptin.
When I had the recurrence, my oncologist put me right back into chemotherapy...AC/TH and I began the Tykerb when I was taking the Taxol. Once the 12 weeks of Taxol were done, she doubled my daily dose of Tykerb. I am now undergoing radiation, plus I am on Herceptin/Tykerb.
I guess that the recurrence, only a few short months after completing Herceptin, was what put me in line to receive Tykerb.
Good luck.
