Tykerb + different chemo than Xeloda?
I'm looking for anyone who has used any other chemos (other than Xeloda) in conjunction with Tykerb. I'm told I'm running out of treatment options since I had some regression and some progression with the Tykerb and Xeloda combo in my liver. My doc is concerned that there aren't many studies that include Tykerb with something other than Xeloda. After the last scans, he started me on Tykerb and Herceptin. I'm just trying to see if anyone out there has done any combos with Tykerb so I can share the info with him. He's also got his research department looking for any trials I could get into, particularly TDM-1. I'm in Louisville, KY if anyone has any suggestions! Thanks, all!
