Re: brain mets
Thank you, Paul. KG-I would definitely mention this to your mother's oncologist. My oncologist would like me to start Tykerb because it DOES cross the blood brain barrier. We need to attack these brain lesions with everything we can get our hands on. I am told that the Tykerb is quite tolerable with the Herceptin, although a lot of GI issues. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts your way. I hope your Mom is feeling better each day.
