Good morning-

Herceptin does not seem to work for me either. I have had it in combo with navelbine prior to my 1sr reoccurrence and taxotere prior to my second reoccurrence. My onc recommended xeloda, and thus I entered the clinical trial for xeloda with or without lapatinib. This trial appears to be designed for those of us who have failed herceptin. I am in the arm w/out lapatinib, but scan results have been great to date. Tumor markers don't seem to tell a whole lot for me, so we rely on my symtoms (if any), and the scans. My counts are usually pretty low, but I am taking iron and B6 as well...

You appear to have been taken off xeloda pretty quickly - did you experience symptoms?

Kind regards,
Shell
