Lolly, I hope the Tykerb really crushes those little cancer cells to bits! I started Tykerb a week ago, and am hopefull that I will see positive results.

May we both see awesome results from Tykerb!!

Oh rats. I was hoping the Gemzar would do a better job. However, taxanes are great drugs, especially for Her2+ cancer. Like Chrisy, I saw all the Tykerb presentations in San Antonio and the Tykerb/Taxol combo worked especially well - better in my opinion than Tykerb/Xeloda.


Big hug to you
