Marie,
Your picture is darling! I am also looking for another drug that I can take with Tykerb. I went off Tykerb for 4 months (went on Herceptin and Navelbine for my lungs) and got 2 small brain mets which I've had stereotactic radiation for. I want back on Tykerb but right now we're researching what can be taken with it. I wonder what are the combinations StephN mentioned? I am still praying for you and your husband. Let me know if you find out anything. Thanks!
God bless!
Beckie
