Irene,
There is another option which may work well for you.... pertuzumab is an monoclonal antibody which works independantly of herceptin + and is also an EGFR (HER1) and HER3 inhibitor, and the good news is that it is also made by Genetech and the trial allows herceptin with it. I would be tempted to look at this before tykerb.

good luck,
Al
