Ivett Vega,
If you cannot get Lapatinib immediately, ask your oncologist if you can get Herceptin by injection in the spine. This was used experimentaly in a few cases in Germany & the USA.

Other treatments (such as Temodar/Sorafenib) are discussed at:

As a last resort ask your oncologist about Boswellia serrata:
