long run with TDM1 is over

I have one soft tissue met in the chest and and 3 small mets in the liver. I have been so wrapped up in TDM1, that I have not paid attention to whats new on the horizon.

Questions:
1. Do you have to be Brac positive for parp trials?

2. Whats the news on Neratinib? Does anyone know when it's supposed to get approved?

3. I've used tykerb and herceptin. Is there any info on using both with a chemo like Gemzar(haven't tried that one yet)?

4. Do your mets have to be a certain size for cyber knife? Mine are still in the milimeters.

I meet with my onc on Wednesday. I would love to be able to try cyberknife and Herceptin and or Tykerb with Gemzar

Sorry for all the questions. My Mindis going in a million directions.

Kim
