My Oncologist said he would get me on it as soon as he can. Since I'm stage IV hopefuly they won't give me any grief. Although it is thought that insurance may initally approve it only for those who did not respond on Herceptin, hopefully this will not be the case. In the new issue of "Cure" there is a big article about the future success of Tykerb taken with Herceptin, it being the 1-2 knock out punch. It talks about how Herceptin attaches itself to the outside of the cell and Tykerb attacks the inside and also the HER1 receptor..both bases covered. I don't see how it can be refused to us if it is that successful with Herceptin. I will fight my insurance for it also. The article says that it may be filed for FDA approval within the next year....so when is that...soon ..I hope...sherryg683
