Karen-

I am sorry to hear your news. I had lapatinib, but as part of the xeloda trial. I had to go off that trial too, because I progressed. But you should be able to inquire about the lapatinib EAP since you are taking the xeloda. Xeloda worked really well for me for 14 months, although we had to lower dosages to manage the hand/foot syndrome. Make sure to contact your doctor if it starts to develop at all! I hope you are able to stay on it at least another cycle or two to give it some time to see wheter it is working.

Take care,
Shell
