I was taken off herceptin 3 months ago and understand exactly how you feel. I am ER/PR+ but stage 3c. I would try for the lapatinib but also I would ask my onc if I could get the Serum Her2 test done regularly to monitor the her2 in your blood. I would also ask for a plan using this test as a monitor. That is to say, should it raise you would then go back on herceptin and continue monitoring your disease using the Serum her2 test. At least in this way you should be able to take early action if things start to go wrong before a tumor can dig in.
