D.W.
I was hoping you'd get more input on this...
I had complete success with Navelbine/ Herceptin for mediastinal nodal mets/spot on pelvis and lung. That was late in 2002. I only did four rounds to reach NED in body.
Since you've also had brain mets: with your Xeloda/Tykerb, did you try reductions in dosage?? Many others have found that by reducing dose totally eliminates or very much lessens the side effects. Since both of these drugs cross the bbb, seems it would be more of a 'targeted' therapy for you.
Some have also reported a 'boost' to reactivating Herceptin when it has stopped working, by adding Tykerb to the mix.
Since this is not a mets only site, I am offering you and invitation to bcmets.org. "We" also have a sister site: brainmetsbc.org devoted exclusively to those with breast ca brain mets.
Best wishes in whatever tx's are ahead for you,
pattyz
