Started Tykerb/xeloda Today
Well, the day finally arrived and I met with my oncs office yesterday for them to "HAND OVER" the Tykerb. What a whirlwind of paperwork passing hands back and forth and finally opening up officially as at EAP compassionate use site. I believe they are one of two in Florida so far. The other is M.D. Anderson in Orlando for any of you that live in this area. They plan on getting many more opened up and I pray your locations open up soon for those of you that are waiting.
I took my first dose this a.m. of both to follow with dose of Xeloda this evening. Ladies, I am praying for myself and well as for all of us that this is our MIRACLE DRUG. There are many more to follow if not. I THINK I CAN NOW START CONCENTRATING ON MY TRIP. Good luck to us all. Everyone take care ... |
Irene, I am so happy to hear you finally got your Tykerb. http://www.her2support.org/vbulletin...lies/smile.gif I can't wait to hear how the Tykerb and Xeloda is your miracle combination! Hopefully now that you got that all out of the way you can relax a little bit and totally focus on your vacation as you so deserve it. Now go have some FUN Irene! http://www.her2support.org/vbulletin...lies/smile.gif

Dear Irene,
Postive energy being sent your way...and many prayers - Enjoy Italy.... Warmly, Jean |
Hi Irene, It's great news that you have started your new treatment. I might be right behind you in the next few weeks. I had appt. today with onc. to get results of ct. scan. Things are still pretty much stable with 4 cycles of xeloda. I've been put on the list to receive tykerb along with xeloda. My case just has to go before a committee and then it's a go. I hope you have a marvelous trip. You deserve it. Love and Blessings, Lu Ann.

You are our leader in this new venture...I am so glad everything is resolved with the Tykerb and you can concentrate on your trip....it sounds like an easy combo to take...let us know. |
Irene--that is wonderful about your Tykerb! Please let us all know how it goes, and what side effects you experience. Many of us will be watching the progress of you and the others who are starting to use it. I am only one of many on this site you will probably want to be on it at some point.
Good luck :-) |
Appreciate your good wishes
I want to thank everyone for all of their good wishes and support. I love you all.
Let's all pray for some good results from this new drug for all of us. Sandy H and Luann, its so good to hear that you are both so close now to joining the study. Good luck to you both and a speedy process. I am actually going to spend the day today thinking and getting ready for this trip. YIPEEEEEEE Take care. |
Irene,
It sounds as if you are doing well handling this combo so far. Now enjoy all the preparations for your trip and have lots of olive oil while you are there. My daughter went on her honeymoon to Italy two years ago. She said the fresh figs were delicious in September. Best wishes, Barbara H. |
Irene,
Congratulations on finally receiving the Tykerb. You are now the official explorer for this group. Please keep us informed as I'm sure many of us will be following down the same path. Enjoy your vacation! |
Woo-hoo! To finally have those little puppies in hand - what a relief! I'm joining you in the prayers that this drug will bring miracles for all of us, especially you and those so close now to starting. Have a wonderful trip.
