Dear Sarah,
Actually yes, it's a good thing...it is an oral chemo and it is available for compassionate use now. It's also a good thing because it attacks the Her1 which Herceptin doesn't, and goes inside the cell rather than just attach to the recptors on the outside - although there are trials right now to decide if Tykerb alone or Tykerb plus Herceptin is better. I was signing up for one at the med school near me when they thought I had a recurrance, but now they've decided it's just "spots" on my lungs and they haven't changed. YIPPEEE!
