Bobby,

I'd like to suggest putting your mother on Boswella Serrata - a compund which has shown to have an unbelievable effect in reducing mets to the brain. Lani had posted an article on this and I immediately contacted the researcher who was testing this compound and obtained more promising data on this compound. My mother who has breast cancer mets to the brain (the whole brain covered in lesions) and running out of options (had WBR and Temodar) this was a desperate attempt. Her last scan showed 50% reduction and although dr will point to her chemo regime of gemzar, carboplatin and herceptin - I really feel it is the Boswella. If Temodar which is smaller in molecule size than Gemzar and it did not pass the bbb then how did Gemzar do this - seriously search this site or even Lani's post for boswella, contact the researcher and get your mom on this...trust me I was in a similar place 4 months ago when they said Tykerb would be available by Jan 2007 ( I did nto know if we had that much time). Im pretty sure Boswella is not only for HER2+ breast cancer...but pls do the research...if this doesnt help reply to this post and Ill try to help by giving more options
