Initially, Nikki was on the clinical trial/study of Taxol and Tykerb(Lapatinib) and Herceptin at the same time. I'm not an expert, but I think the Tykerb is one of two chemo. drugs that can cross the blood/brain barrier to help out there, and Herceptin stifles the over-expression of the Her2 gene, so they play two different roles and work well together. Does that sound right? What's the other drug that crosses the blood/brain barrier?
