Esther, I am not sure what the qualifications are but my oncologist said he would start the paperwork June 12th for me to get it. I was told it would take 2 to 3 weeks to get it. He said it was not being given with the Herceptin and so I would be stopping it. I think right now it is being used when the Herceptin is no longer working. He went to the big oncology meeting in Atlanta and came back saying he thought I should do Tykerb. I thought he going to add avastin to my Herceptin. I was not prepared with my questions so am confused about how he is going to use it with me. He did not mention the Xeloda being used with it. I have been intending to e-mail him but have been too busy this week with appointments. How are you doing? What are you on for maintenance? hugs, Sandy
