Re: Please post your two cents on Herceptin "side effects" real or perceived!
After my wife started Tykerb with Xeloda she started diaorreah.The One prescribed immodium and it works. He wants her to taper it off.But now she has developed itchy rashes.We cintacted the Onc over the phone and he has promised to mail a prescription for a tablet to be taken twice daily to stop the itchy feeling.This was 5 mts ago.Will follow up when the prescription comes.
BTW lamotil did not work for my wife.Immodium one Cap thrice a day worked and it is now twicw a day.
