If she is currently on Kadcycla I doubt an oncologist would put her on Trastuzumab (herceptin) as Kadcycla is a conjugate of Herceptin plus a chemo drug called Emtansine. I searched to see if these two drugs could be used together ie Traztuzumab (Herceptin) and Kadcycla (Hercepton-Emtansine and found no statements for or against but it doesnt make sense to me. Ask the oncologist if you can use Kadcycla and Herceptin together just to bring it to his or her attention.

I guess that leaves Lapatanib (Tykerb) and Capcitabine Xeloda).

If she is ER postitve she probably would be taking a drug like Tamoxifen, Faslodex, or Zoladex i njections. Is she? Youdidnt mention anything about this.

Hopes this helps a bit
