A side comment
I hope you will get some really good responses to your post, Rupali. I just want to mention for those at less risk yet who are considering jumping on the bandwagon to try to get lapatinib that there are reasons for the current lapatinib trials.
I follow the reasoning for doing lapatinib in your situation and would do what you are trying to do. I'm just a little concerned to try to provide a little balance here so that those at lower risk for recurrence understand that the risks of the drug aren't clear long-term, because to me it seems like with so many posting the rush to get the drug there is the impression that this drug is a slam-dunk with no mention of risk.
It may turn out to be a terrific drug with hardly any problems, but that isn't certain.
