My Oncologist had told me the same thing about it being less damaging to the heart, quite a bit less he said. He has quite a few patients on the trial. I don't think he knows either about mixing Herceptin and Tykerb. He said he might take me off Herceptin and put me on Tykerb if I was so worried about the brain mets issue. I said, put me on both..change my Herceptin to every 3 weeks..he said he would have to think about it. I just have that "Cure" magazine sitting here in my house that said what wonders they thought Herceptin and Tykerb would do when used together. One attacking the outside, the other the inside of the cell. Maybe they didn't consider the toxicity of it. I guess I have been pretty hell bent on getting on both since I read about it in there and when I get hellbent, there's no stopping me. I guess we'll have to see. If Herceptin continues to work for me, I don't want to get off it..I just want a little protection for my brain, it's scattered enough...sherryg683
