From my understanding pretty much any stage IV patient (Her2+) who is not responding to their current treatment can qualify for Tykerb for compassionate use. I believe it is being give along with Xeloda for now. I am currently in remission so my Oncologist said that I would not qualify for it even though I am stage IV. I would love to get on it with Herceptin now and not wait till I reoccur..My Oncologist told me that they have been approved to get the drug, he has 2 patients that need it desperately. They are just waiting to recieve it. I will ask him thursday about it again...sherryg683
