I have heard that too- all I really understand is that Herceptin blocks Her2 and neratinib blocks other HER receptors. My onc mentioned that many times when they have a HER2+ person with a recurrence after herceptin, further testing shows there is also an abundance of other HER receptors (like Her3 and 4) and that neratinib may also block those.
