I saw my oncologist last Friday and he said he expected Tykerb to be here the end of this week or first of next. I am getting it under the compassionate program. It would have been here by now but the President of the IRB was on vacation last week and back on Monday. I will be using it with Xeloda as that is how it has to be given under the compassionate. I am praying for you all that need this drug, especially Irene and Sherry. Sherry, my dear, I am so sorry you have to wait so long that is not fair. May God bless you during this most trying time. hugs, Sandy
