Hi Eric,
I was never on Tykerb. Herceptin alone worked for me for 1 1/2 years. When I started on it I had a 3 cm brain met, skin mets, and lung, and liver mets, but no bone mets. It wiped everything out, but bone mets appeared. I then went on Navelbine, but started to progress at this time last year. I then had a biopsy, but it didn't show if my ER/PR markers had changed. I then waited for this trial and am now in it. As I stated before, it is very easy to tolerate. Herceptin has kept my other mets at bay.
Best wishes,
Barbara H.
