Re: rash after chemo-now over a month
Hi Tricia,
Maybe you could have your oncologist give you a few tablets of Tykerb to try at home to see if you can swallow them. If you can then you could consider taking them with Herceptin. Xeloda is the drug in pill form that is usually taken with Tykerb. I would not recommend it at this time because it is a more difficult chemo to tolerate. In addition, the skin issues with the feet and fingers are increased when both of these drugs are taken together.
Good luck,
Barbara H.
