I asked about Tykerb for early stages as well this week of my onc. He said same thing. Used for those where herceptin is not working.

However, me being the pushy broad, I mention that he needs to make calls to push research forward for the early stagers.

Also one of the doctors in the office sits on the fda approval borad. she actually worked to approve herceptin for early stagers and tykerb- so i stopped and talked to her about how important that this is pushed forward and thanked her for us who are on this now. she was very excited about this medicine so i will make sure to push whenever i see her. she's an excellent doctor ( Dr. Martino)
