Tablet form of Herceptin?

Hi all - don’t know if any knows about this and can’t find much help on the net. I am sure I have read somewhere that they are trialling herceptin in tablet form for ladies who are 5 years post chemo? I actually don’t know my herceptin status as originally diag in 2003 and they didn’t test then and then had DCIS this summer which again they don’t test herceptin status for. Also does anyone know how easy it is to get original lump tested for herceptin? - are we entitled to ask? - can we arrange it privately?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
