Linda, it is March here now and so fall is September, October and November for us. So we are looking at 6 months from now. Hope this answers your question. Yes, we have known since middle of January this drug was not working so its time to do something else. We maybe looking at avastin. I doubt if it will be anything to do with Tykerb because from the info released it sounds like the FDA has put guidelines for it not to be used outside of the Xeloda or Herceptin. Will find out more next week after scans, restaging and talking to the oncologist. Any further questions please let me know. hugs, Sandy
