when tykerb/xeloda don't work, what next?

Hello,
I have a friend with IBC, HER2, ER-. She originally had some luck with Navelbine and also xeloda for 2 months and Herceptin. Then the cancer started to spread and she was put on tykerb/xedloda - had to lower the oringinal dose of 8 pills a day to 4 because of side effects. Now her cancer is growing again it's in the glands behind the sternum.
any thoughts?
I thought maybe add back in Herceptin? Her onc called tykerb an accelerator??? I thought it was a variatin on Herceptin for Her2 cells.
Has anyone taken for instance Tykerb with Navelbine? any ideas?
need help ASAP
thanks
good luck to all of you (I've got Her2 but not IBC)
Sarah
