Re: Chemo AND Tykerb & Herceptain??
I was in a phase II study that added Tykerb to Herceptin along with the traditional chemos; adramycin, cytoxin, and taxol. I had four cycles of A/C and then began Herceptin andTaxol weekly for 12 weeks. At the same time I began taking Tykerb orally. After the 12 weeks, I continued with Herceptin and Tykerb for a total of one year.
