Nicola;

I too am so sorry that you find yourself having to deal with this awful disease. There is information on this site about lapatinib in other areas so just use the search engine. My understanding is that another plus with lapatinib is that it is a much smaller molecule than Herceptin and so also can penetrate the brain. Sounds horrible I know but I think it is wonderful to have a treatment that can affect any possible micrometastises anywhere in the body. Herceptin can't do this. I agree with Tom that we are so lucky to be Her2 positive at a time where there is effective treatment. Please keep us all informed with your treatment. God bless.

Cathy
