Hi Karen,

That is wonderful news! I am so happy for you. I have been on the clinical trial of Taxol, Herceptin and Tykerb since December 23, 2005, I also receive Zometa once a month.

I have been having great results as well. I have extensive mets to the liver in both lobes and two spots on the spine. The two largest tumors in my liver have greatly reduced in size and some of the smallest of tumors in my liver are no longer evident and my bone mets are stable.

I am due for another CT scan on July 28.

What if any side effects have you been experiencing on Herceptin and Tykerb? The reason I ask is I believe that most of the side effects that I experience are caused from the Taxol and I am curious if any of the side effects you may be having are similar to my own.

It's nice to finally meet someone else on Herceptin and Tykerb. I am so excited for you. I am the first person in the world to have been put on this trial and I have been eagerly waiting for someone else to talk to that is also on the trial.

I can't wait to share notes with you.

Look forward to hearing from you again on your next post.

Big Hugs,
Nicola
