Re: Brain Mets came back -- Help Needed

I saw my onc yesterday and asked again about Tykerb. He finally agreed to add it to Xeloda. However, he said he has to cancel Herceptin, since there is no evidence that the two together is safe or not. Nobody here in our local hospital takes Tykerb and Herceptin together and he is very uncomfortable to use them. What can I say. I already gave him the info from SABCS summary about their Phase III study. No matter what, I will start Tykerb along with my 4th round of Xeloda. I am thinking that if I tolerated Tykerb well, I may push him adding Herceptin for me. Thank you all for your support. Love, Grace
