Kim, I brought it up to my Oncologist and we have been discussing it for quite some time. He said he's not sure if it would be beneficial to me or not but was willing to prescribe it if I wanted it. It's so new I guess they don't know, I still haven't discussed how long I would be on it with him, that was something I forgot. And today when I went in for my Herceptin, one of the administrators of the clinic came to me and told me that I would have to get Tykerb from a select pharmacy. She had all the paper work filled out and said that the pharmacist would contact my insurance and see how it would be paid and then contact me. If my insurance denied it or gave me any grief then the folks at Tykerb Cares would file an appeal with my insurance to get me on it. So now I am just in the wait. ..sherryg683
