lapatinib
Ladies, could you please share your knowledge.
I'm on herceptin currently, I had 5+ lymph nodes, no distant methastasis found for now. I'thinking about adding lapatinib to my treatment. It is not approved for non-methastatic cancer in the UK where I live so it is a big challenge and a big expens trying to get it. Would lapatinib + herceptin be more effective than herceptin alone? Would it be reasonable to do lapatinib after herceptin finished?
Thanks. It is ridiculuos that I ask you about it instead of asking oncologists but they are just quoting NICE guidelines in their replies to me and sound like a prerecorded message "not proven not proven". I don't trust them in this matter as NICE concerned more about costeffectivnes than about my personal chanses to survival.
