Re: Anyone Get To NED On Tykerb/Xeloda/Herceptin?

Hi Karen - I think you have a shot at remission w/this. On breastcancer.org (bco.org for short) a stage iv woman's onc said that the clinical trials show she has a good shot of remission on just tykerb and herceptin. And, you are adding another actual chemo - xeloda.

Fingers crossed,

Kim
