Herceptin & Tykerb Together
I know there are some of you on this combo but I cant remember who so thought it would be easier to ask then go through each thread....
I have spent most of my day researching new options and wondered who is on this combo and how you are tolerating and responding.
My onc has always been a bit hesitant to put me on this since not much out on it together, but maybe by now there is.
I did not discuss with him at our last meeting so wanted to get some info to take to him. I like going right to the source to see how people are reacting. I don't know if would work for me but maybe worth a try.
He is talking about Cisplatin with Irinotecan but I just do not have a good gut feeling about it for some unknow reason.
So if I can not get into the DM1 trial, we have to come up with another plan by next week.
Any help on this combo?????
