Herceptin + Tykerb + Navalbne (Vinorelbine) Info Needed

SoCalMom33

Hello All,

I'm new to this forum, and looking for some info. I am currently on Herceptin and Tykerb for Stage 4 Triple Positive MBC. Results are mixed - mets to brain and had 2 Gamma Knife treatments in past 6 weeks. My oncologist wants to add another agent, Navalbine (vinorelbine) to the mix. Our insurance company denied the request, as there is nothing in the literature speaking to the efficacy of this combo. We have searched PubMed and other online resources and spoken with the manufacturers of all three drugs. Nobody seems to have any data on this combo.

I am hoping that someone in this community has had this combo previously and can help connect us to your oncologist in order to get some evidence of efficacy.

Thanks in advance!
