all,

this is my opinion only of course, but to all that is stage 4, fight like he_ to get Tykerb. Technology is changing all the time. This oral medication is getting FDA approved for a reason, it must be getting good results. My opinion is that if you get Herceptin and Tykerb, it's a double whammy on the cancer. I don't think the body will get resistant to this, in that our bodies get "resistant" to say an antibiotic. I'm stage 3 and my onc already said i can get it off label if i want. I want to do everything in my power NOW and not later. Tykerb might prevent brain mets. In just that i think we all should look very carefully at getting it. I think some of the trials are giving Herceptin and Tykerb together. I think in the near future HEr2 positive breast cancer might the first type of Breast Cancer to be curable.It has to happen sometime, why not now!!
