Hi there

I just found out yesterday that I have new liver mets after months of shrinking. My onc has taken me off of herceptin/taxol and is now going to put me on Tykerb/Xeloda. He did tell me that my hair should start to come back and that the constipation should go away and I would probably get the diaherra and would have skin issues. Can anyone give me an idea of what else to expect. I guess a plus to all of this is that I don't have to be a "human pin cushion" every week anymore!

Thanks in advance for any advice.
