hi does any one know if tykerb is approved in conjuction w/ herception in stage 3 breast cancer. (strongly her2 pos) or just for metestic breast cancer. Does any know where there are offering trials and does it look like I would be elgible based on my sig profile. I strart herceptine alone 2nd week of november. Also does any one know the pros ands cons of these 2 drugs in conjustion. I am going for the cure as we are all in the same boat here! Also i see some "tykerb off lable" what does that mean Unfortunatly my hospital does not offer that either

Thank you for any help provided,
