I stumbled across this rather extensive article regarding lapatinib while looking for incidences of "compassionate use", and thought it might shed some light on the drug's potential. It is personally exciting to me for Mom's situation, but sure won't do her any good if she can't find somewhere to receive it soon. My strategy all along was to help her hang on long enough for this drug to become available. I hope I don't find myself in the "last soldier killed in Vietnam" scenario. The link is below.
