Hi Debbie,

The problem in my case is that my onc cant make a case to not give Xeloda. I am stage 3A and want to take Tykerb as a preventive means for like 6 months. I am just basing it on the fact that preventive nature of TYKERB is the reason for running a TEACH trial in 30 countries. Plus when I saw in the eyes of my onc I could read he wants to say that yes this is right but cannot speak becuase of legal issues. He although made twisty statements which me and my husband could understand as that he was bending to say that yes Tykerb for 6 months with 2 rounds of maintenance Herceptin every 3 months should be a good cocktail. This is because Herceptin stays in the system for a few months and together these 2 have synergistic effect.
The only problem is to see how to get TYKERB...
