Irene,
I am her2 negative so don't know all that much about herceptin and tykerb. I wanted to share with you my experience with avastin. I enrolled in the taxol and avastin trial in Jan of 2004 when dx with mets to lungs and liver. It did a great job for 15 months. I do know of other doing avastin with taxol, abraxane and navelbine. From what I have read and heard from others is that the avastin isn't doing a good job by itself...only with a chemo. So, if you're thinking about it as a single agent you may want to do more research on this. Hope this helps and I sure understand wanting to get started. I had to wait three weeks to start on the taxol and avastin trial when first dx with mets...I was so scared. The doctor told me that if the treatment was going to work now it would still work in 3 weeks...I waited it out and was very happy. It's a tough decision...best of luck to you
Warmly,
Judiek
