Hi Michelle, I know you were like me and were leaning towards going ahead and getting on Tykerb with Herceptin as a preventative. What made you decide to go ahead and do this. I am really leaning more towards having my Oncologist put me on it immediately instead of waiting for a reoccurance, just would like to know what your Oncologist thinks about it, mine doesn't really know what to do but has said he would do whatever I wanted. Just concerned about getting an immunity to it and using it up ..i'm so confused...sherryg683
