I under stand that just chemo by it's self will not be as affective as a trial that includes Hereptin and Lapatinib. Insurance will not cover What can I do to get on a trial that will not include insurance approval. My mom is 50yrs old and was diagnosed with Breast Cancer stage 3 HER2+.

There is no data about using it in other situations. Your physicians should be able to point you to trials and/or other therapies for metastatic her-2+ breast cancer.

She received a lot of chemo(200), taxotere,herceptin and now, Abraxanne. With Abraxanne, the cancer did not progres. She tries to come back to taxotere and cancer grow up. Is neratinib could be use with abraxanne ? I suppose that if it's possible teh result could be very good. We are Canadian (québec) and research are always in late here. I know she won't abel to receive an other 200 chemo(side effects) and i'm looking to find other solutions. The question is : could you help us ?

The study was reported in the New England Journal of Medicine on February 12, 2009. That report did not report the changes in bone density in the treatment groups. It did note in the discussion that zoledronic acid effectively prevented bone loss in patients receiving adjuvant therapy with aromatase inhibitors. The detailed information on the bone effects of zoledronic acid in the premenopausal group of women in this study will hopefully be reported separately.
