Next step in treatment

Hema had her8th dose of Herceptin on the 1st of Sep and her bext dose is fixed for the 21st.The Onc said that after the 8th herceptin he may switch to tykerb.Is tykerb normally given in one dose like herceptin or is it spread over 21 days as I saw in the net
Cheers to all

Thanks for keeping in touch and letting us know how you and your wife are doing these days. Good luck with the Tykerb if the doctor decides to add that. Take care.

Re: Next step in treatment

Tykerb is taken daily in tablet form. It can be taken with Herceptin and other chemos. I hope it works well for you.
