So Jojo, I guess your question is "are you taking tykerb with herceptin?" I did talk to my onc today about that very subject and he said although there are trials starting up now, there is no data out there right now. Although it would make sense to use both (tykerb acts in the cancer cell and herceptin acts on the surface), he is concerned about side effects using the two (especially cardiac issues). He wants to wait for some early trial results. Let's hope it's soon.
