hi
I notice you are in the UK and I suspect that is why you only got xeloda originally. Now there are some trials available that combine it with tykerb (part of the same trials Chelee referred to ) As you are aware NICE do not believe that tykerb is a cost effective option for metastatic breast cancer despite positive views from most of Britain's top breast oncologists.
Good luck, this regime has proved very good hence why it is in trials against T-DM1
