If you follow Dr. Spector's, a lead speaker for GSK, most recent research article on Lapatinib, you will note that it seems to turn on the estrogen receptor and that may need to be down regulated simultaneously with the erbs.See articles posted above for more details on this.I was also told that GSK does compassionate use but it takes about 8 months to get the medication once the paper work is filled.Hope this helps folks. And no as an early stager, I am not awaiting Lapatinib.
