To Lani - I'm not real familiar how to post for each person. However, he has had faslodex and all the others, not just once but several times with mixing different hormonal drugs. Tykerb is too new of a drug and do not want to take a chance with that. My understanding is that Herceptin does not affect the immune system, (lower blood counts) only the problem with the heart. So this is a big concern whether or not to take this chance. We live in Florida. Had his liver transplant in New Orleans, LA, however, they are not very helpful since they say cancer isn't their field. I think they should be working with the Oncologist but this is not happening. All they said his liver is great and could withstand any type of chemo, but are very concerned about the immune system. I think this is just a battle we can't win. Really are confused at this point. Thank you for all the info. Idi
