Hi Pam

That's great news. I heard that Taxol/Avastin was a great combo.

I am on Avastin and Gemzar (for liver mets) and had a discussion with my onc about adding Tykerb and although it hasn't been tested with this combo, he said "why not". So that's where we are. Sounds like adding Tykerb to your regimen would make a lot of sense. I have scans in two weeks so I'll post how it's all going.
