I have heard that some doctors are prescribing TDM1 under the rule known as "compassionate use", which allows a seriously ill patient to use a new, unapproved drug when no other treatment is available.

Heceptin and Navelbine worked great for about 6 months - my markers are going back up and I found out during the holidays that I have 4 small lensions in my brain - I also have to start Tykerb and Xeloda - I am not happy about it either. I have been going on clinicaltrials.org there are alot of trials that might help.
