Hmmmm....not liking Tykerb/Xeloda right now. The jog to the bathroom is unpleasant. For those of you who have been using it long term; do the side effects seem to regulate after awhile? Food is not very appetizing now; even chocolate!!!!

My onc took me off of herceptin because it wasn't working anymore. The BC spread to the brain (had radiation) and then after that radiation was finished they found bad stuff in my hip and two vertebrae. So now I'm doing more radiation.

Do dr.'s keep you on Tykerb/Xeloda long term? Like more than a year?

Thanks!!!!
