tykerb iso herceptin

Hi ladies - brand new member.
Have been taking taxol with herceptin for the last 3 months. Now was told to continue with herceptin for a year - but I have been reading about tykerb - and thinking perhaps I should switch but my onc not recommending.
Heard Tykerb is easier on the heart - but hve been reading about side effects. While on taxol/herceptin for the last 3 months - hardly any reaction - except tingling on the toes only for the last 2 weeks. no stomach problems - slight heart palpitation and cough.
I am inquiring whether should continue with herceptin or change to Ty.
Any comments - thanks.
Esher
