Irene,
My onc has also sent in the necessary papers (which he requested). I believe that was last week. I have no idea how long it will take. I did have to get an echo since they requested recent heart info. Tykerb, like Herceptin, can affect the heart.
My tumor markers have been over the top for months now. But my recent scans (you name it) show that although I still have some bone and liver mets, everything is stable. I believe the Xeloda and Herceptin combo have made that possible. Prior to Xeloda, during this 3 year mets period, I had tried Taxol, Navelbine and Gemzar, all to no avail.
Love and light,
Lisa
