Linda was on Xeloda for 18 months and a lot of good it did!

Couple things thoughm there is evidence that if you had WBR that the rads actually blasts holes in the BBB, allowing some herceptin to cross. The problem is that Cancer always has a plan B, so drugs like pertuzumab (HER1,2,3 inhibitor) + say AI's + VEGF inhibition may the course of the future.

Trials in Canada for tykerb: yes, Sunnybrook Womens Cancer Centre in Toronto, (Dr. Maureen Trudeau), I think in Hamilton as well, Montreal and Vancouver probably. Just a footnote; when Linda was dying, I was intouch with Dr. Eric Winer to get some Tykerb and it would have happened if only Linda could have swallowed.
