Re: Tykerb/ herception in stage 3a locally advanced patients

Joletta,
I will be very interested in the response to your thread.

I am Stage IV and did not receive strong support from my oncologist when I asked about Herceptin/Tykerb (without Xeloda). My Onc (whom I generally like) danced around with statements that Tykerb isn't a "walk in the park".

I am going to pin her down when I visit this coming Friday as I want to know what my next step will be in case I have another recurrance.

I do know that Sheila successfully fought (took her 3 months) for the combination, but she is Stage IV as well.

Hmmm....I think bjuce might have been on a Herceptin/Tykerb trial. Maybe she will have insights for earlier stage approaches.

Good Luck....I am with you on pursuing more targeted approaches to treatment!!!
