I hope that you can get them to at least agree to starting a low dose Xeloda, and optimally adding back Herceptin. I know we're all different, but one of my chemo buddies had her lung mets wiped out with Xeloda/Herceptin (don't know her dose), and I myself have had significant regression of lymph node metastasis since adding just 500mg Xeloda twice daily to my Herceptin/Navelbine program (I have progressed TWICE on Herceptin and my onc has Navelbine both times. This last time it stabilized the growth but Xeloda really added some punch). I would hope they see the reason in giving your mom something to keep things at bay to buy you time to work on getting Tykerb. Good luck, thoughts and prayers.
