Michelle,

Yes- do elaborate on the curable when you find out!!! I have been waiting for some INKLING of the word cure for us.

I am also going for Tykerb off-label in March. Onc and I haven't discussed insurance coverage, but I think it is much less $$ than Herceptin. Anyway, if I find out any insurance info (we have Blue Cross) I will pass along. I assumed once it is fda approved and your onc prescribes it for you, it will be covered. But who knows, not like I have ever been in this position before.
