Re: brain mets
Okay, I have a question. KG said her mother was told that is no pill or chemo that crosses the blood brain barrier. I was under the impression that Tykerb crossed the brain barrier? Was that incorrect? Im all done with the WBR, and waiting six weeks to get a brain scan to see what effect it has had. Still on the Herceptin, getting ready to start Tykerb. I actually thought that was why I was starting the Tykerb was that it crossed the blood brain barrier.
