I am new here, have visited a couple times and thought I have read others that are in the trial for Tykerb or Tykerb w/ herceptin. My Doctor wants me in this trial so we are moving forward with that. I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the whole idea of "no chemo" though. When I was first dx'd the doctors kept saying you need the chemo to kill the cancer but now they are saying they don't want me to have it and that Tykerb can take care of it. I was also wondering how the others on this trial...if any are doing with it. I have read that alot of people want this drug and have been told that I am lucky my Doctor can get me in on this trial...just having a hard time understanding it all I guess.
Any input would be wonderful.
