Maybe it's time to change your onc Grace for one with a more forward thinking and open mind if thats possible. I'm sorry you're dealing with this, my friend had brain mets before this combo was approved and had temodar with herceptin which gave good results for a while.

I hope your onc can come up with something for you, or a second opinion can be had and just wanted to send good wishes as you face this.
