Dear Mickey -
I was hoping that no news was good news and that all that fresh air from your walks was doing you some good.

The expert on the Lapatinib trials is Dr. Eric Winer at Dana Farber. Joe may have even more specific contact info. We met him at the Genentech reception in San Antonio. He seems to feel they are still in the investigational stage, but worth talking to him - I think your case is the kind he is interested in.
There was some study that shows a synergy between Herceptin and Lapatinib.

Then there is Patty Z here who is presently taking Temador and Xeloda for her numerous brain mets and having some success.

This is a hard call and I know some others will put in their 2 cents worth.
