Dear PattyZ,

Thank you for "going on" with so much detail -- it's very helpful. Can you say why you were denied the Temodar after starting on it?

Though the Lapatinib (Tykerb) didn't work for my sister, I've known of other women for whom it did work. It's a simple pill taken orally, so keep it in mind as another potential line of defense. I believe the clinical trials are expanding and compassionate use availablility is beginning after early trials have shown initial positive results.

Thank you again, and may God bless you and keep you well.
