wonderful news. i am also triple positive with node involvement so i'm very happy to read this. i'm still in the middle of herceptin treatments. i guess it really is a wonder-drug! wish tykerb were also accessible to non-metastatic cancer survivors. keeping my fingers crossed.

She only has a few more months.
