Hi Pat,

I am on the herceptin and tykerb trial. Herceptin never gave any real side affects so when I got some they told me they seem to be common in patients on tykerb. I got diarhea(sp ?) in the beginning that lasted a couple of days than subsided. Around 2 weeks(I think) after starting I got a rash on my face that appeared like bad acne...This I was told by my protocol nurse is a common one, (I also read it in an article about tykerb) this too has subsided. My fingers crack and split also.

hope this helps,
Steph
