Hi Nicola,

First, off let me say how sorry I am to here that you thought you only had DCIS, stage 0 and now you are facing metastatic cancer. Makes you wonder how you can trust the medical professional when there seems to have been a misdiagnosis in your pathology. However, don't loose faith in medicine, I concurr with others on this site that Lapatinib is probably the next cancer wonder drug and in the words of Dennis Slamon, founder of the her2 oncogene, lapatinib is more effective than herceptin against her2 bc. As others here have said, its also small enough to cross the blood brain barrier unlike Herceptin. So good luck to you; keep us posted on your progress.
