My2boys,

So under what conditions or trial were admitted to, to be able to get on both Herceptin and Tykerb. My wife is a stage 2 with an intramammary node positive and would like to do all she can to cure this. She is opting for ACTH at this point but if we can get Tykerb in there too, she would be amenable in trying to do that. Let me know if you can.

Regards,
CDE
