Mary Anne, once Lapatinib is approved, your onc would be able to prescribe it to anyone who is her2+++.

This may just be the most exciting thing I've heard in the last few years. It may mean a much lower rate of brain mets for us her2+++ gals who are living longer with the help of herceptin.

Dr. Pegram feels it dovetails nicely with the benefits Herceptin provides.
