Is this news new? How about Tykerb combo with vinorelbine and capecitabine?

...............The trial mixed two chemotherapy drugs, called capecitabine and vinorelbine, and a drug called Herceptin, used to treat patients whose breast cancer is the aggressive HER2-positive form.............

Thanks for this...i had just read something about this treatment combo, and since I have had Xeloda, and am now on Navelbine, i will ask if they can add the Xeloda back in with the herceptin...the trippe decker so to speak...

I have heard Dr Edith Perez speak many times at San Antonio and she is amazing.
Thanks For this info!!!!
