Thank you Sandy for the info. As you know I went on the phase II trial for my skin mets with BIBW-2992. After a week and a half, my face was covered in acne and painfully itchy. I had severe diarhea, nausea and a fever. They took me off the trial this past Monday, but I must say that my skin mets all but disappeared in that short time, which means that Tykerb, with less effects, may be the ticket for me. I meet with my Onc next Wed to decide a new plan of action. Much love to you and I look forward to hearing about this new cream. Love always, Vickie
