Hi Basilic. I am also on the study. Im at Baylor. Started late July. I get my 4th dose of Herceptin next Tuesday. I'm receiving the tykerb/herceptin combo for 6 months. Did you receive the combo for 3 or 6 months? Your results are phenomenal. I hope I experience the same. My tumor has decreased in size to almost half so far. It was 6cm when measured by hand...I rather go by my MRI and say I started at 5cm

I know I have one positive node. I'll finish the study end of December...then surgery, chemo, rads.
