Desperate for hope: anyone er-, pr+, HER2+++ but nonresponsive to Herceptin/Tykerb?

[TheresaM]

THanks again everyone. Update is my conservative generalist onc here is reluctant to prescribe xeloda/tykerb for me since it ceased working on me in the past, although it was the only thing that ever did work on me.

My stageIV bc specialist I consult with in another state is much more daring (and experienced of course) and would prescribe them for me but she's not licensed to prescribe in my state. So....we're trying to figure out how to do this legally and ethically. My insurance plan allows me to consult her even though she is in another state. I wonder if she can prescribe them to me in her state as her patient, and then have a networked pharmacy like procare mail them to my state. Anyway, I'm looking into it. Will have to do something fast cuz breathing is really really getting to be a problem.

Hope you are all well,
Theresa

Dear Theresa, I am new here but I join all the others who I know are thinking of you and praying for you.
God bless, Bonnie
