Hi Brony
I've been on the Tykerb/Xeloda EAP since Jan through Dr Jodi Lynch in Sydney. My Onc in Canberra mentioned to me about 3 months ago that all oncs would soon be able to prescribe it. T/X has now stopped working for me so not sure if all oncs can now prescribe it. He did mention to me just before my last scans that I need to speak to Dr Lynch about coming off the trial so he could prescribe it. You may need to speak to your onc again, maybe he/she is not up to date. Also I've never heard it call Tykerb here, always Lapatinib. Hope this helps.
