....."""I'm looking for feedback on my situation. my mother was diagnosed w\her2 breast cancer almost one year ago; she's 70 now. She also had a cva in 01. They did a modified radical mastectomy a year ago; she refused radiation and chemo following surgery. About 4 months ago the cancer returned, including a spot on her spine and two on her ribs. They started her on Herceptin. After 4 Herceptin tx's, the spot on the spine is larger and there are two new spots on her ribs. The oncologist wants to start her on Tykerb. I'm looking for anyone who has a similar situation or has been on Tykerb."""

Hello Vaughn -
Has targeted radiation for your mother been ruled out for some reason??

Seems that this would be more effective added to the Tykerb in stopping the growth.

Hoping for the best for your Mom.
