Tykerb

[goops]

I am currently getting Herceptin treatments - I have never heard of Tykerb - when I saw it listed here I googled it and found that it was approved for advanced breast cancer.

Is this only approved for advanced breast cancer? Do they use it with Herceptin?

I was looking at some of the trials and they listed Metastatic breast cancer and advanced breast cancer separately, I always assumed they were one in the same - what is the difference?
