My mother (Michigan, U.P.) has been on Tykerb and Herceptin for the last year or so. She is currently having trouble with gall bladder pain, "sludge"(tiny stones) in the gall bladder, with fluid around the gall bladder.

These medications have been keeping the breast cancer that metasized to her liver at a standstil, or very slow progression, but the intense gall bladder pain is unbearable. She has to go in for shots of demerol and try to stay on a very bland and limited diet of rice, clear liquids, etc.

Her oncologist is being contacted and will read her HIDA scan that she just had yesterday, Jan. 30, 1012.

Best wishes to you, and my God bless! I know how painful that condition must be.

Sincerely,
Karen N.
