Joyce, my side effects from Tykerb were so severe that my onc said the only thing that would relieve it would be taking a break.
I didn't want to do that, so I dropped down to 3 pills a day of Tykerb, and managed better on that dosage. After about 2 months I upgraded back to 5 pills a day and was able to tolerate that dosage with little side effects.
Perhaps you can discuss with your onc if a drop in the dosage is appropriate for you.
The recommended dosage of Xeloda on the Tykerb web site is 2 pills twice a day. Check it out.
