Adriana, prior to starting Tykerb, I consulted with Dr. Pegram at UCLA. He recommended that I take Tykerb with Herceptin.
So that is what I am doing, I am still on Herceptin every 3 weeks, and have added Tykerb and Xeloda to the my schedule.
It was only in the clinical trials that they were asking you to stop the Herceptin, that was the main reason why I did not enter a clinical trial for Tykerb, I was unwilling to stop Herceptin.
Discuss it with your onc, but I'm pretty sure that you will be able to continue Herceptin with the Tykerb if that is what would work best for you.
