What is Tykerb for?
 

Could someone please explain Lapatinib (Tykerb) to me? Thanks.

I am taking lapatininb/tykerb because I was seemingly resistant to herceptin after recurring my first time after having herceptin for 3 months preventatively w/ navelbine, and then recurring my 2d time while on it w/ taxotere.


I was part of the clinical trial of xeloda w/ or w/out lapatinib, and drew the xeloda only arm. But now I am getting lapatinib also, and can't wait to see how my scans are when they are done the end of this month...
