New Plan

[Mtngrl]

Dear Becky,

Thank you so much for raising those points. And it came at a great time.

The molecular tumor board thinks they see evidence that I'm developing some resistance to Herceptin, and recommend I go on a tyrosine kynase inhibitor which, in the world of approved drugs, means Tykerb. The suggestion is that I do Herceptin, Tykerb and Xeloda. I haven't had that exact trio, but I have had all those drugs.

And they will all still be there, as you so wisely pointed out. Maybe I will give the Phase 1 a whirl.

You were walking around with a partially collapsed lung and infected tooth!

I don't have any educated advice, I'd probably stick with onc plan, but I tend to be a by the book person. I have not read of that combination you would be on, keep us updated. Are you aware of any early reports of side effects of folks on phase 1 study?
