Xeloda for second time with Tykerb?

[Mona]

Hi all:

Is anyone on Xeloda for the second time only this time in connection with Tykerb? I am currently on Tykerb/Abraxane (5 wks) and it doesn't seem to be working. I asked the onc about combining it with Xeloda and he said that is only if one hasn't been on Xeloda in the past. I thought there were ladies who had been on it previously to combining it with Tykerb.

I have extensive mets and now lumps in the neck. I have been on numerous chemos (Taxol, carbo, gemzar, navelbine, Xeloda etc.) and am getting low on options. He said we'll give this another 3 weeks and then get a Pet scan. I would love to have some info and details to show him on my next visit. I think it is about a year since I had Xeloda. Any info or suggestions would be appreciated so much. I think I am his first patient on Tykerb and would love to be able to indicate that you can go back on Xeloda if that is one of the treatments available. And, like Mike, I would like to know of any other combos with Tykerb that might be out there.

Thanks for your help.
