Adriana,

What i meant by the trial is that they are not going to want to do trials with Herceptin and Tykerb together because the drug company that makes Tykerb wants that business. Tykerb is definately something that you should try. Especially with Xeloda because they are doing the trials with it now. The only concern is the insurance companies not covering it right now. All stage 4 gals that have failed on Herceptin,it sounds like they will be able to get no problem. It's the rest of us stage 1-3, that are going to have trouble getting it paid for. I'm ready for a fight will my insurance. I will do whatever it takes to prevent this from coming back.
