Re: decision time: if you NEVER responded to tyk+herc did you respond to other her2 i

Sorry to hear your news FOB.I have fairly frequent bad news too but about my liver not lungs. TDM-1 is chemo +herceptin and although I have not responded to Tykerb/Herceptin without chemo I am still hopeful I will respond to TDM-1 as I have to the combo of chemos +targetted before. I see Tykerb and Herceptin as necesssary but not sufficient for tumour control in my case. Please don't lose heart.
