Nicola;

I had diarrhea for a number of months on herceptin. I don't know what cleared it up but it has simply stopped. I took Taxol as well with the first treatment so it could be that combination that continued after the taxol treatments stopped but was still in my system. I do take calcium citrate and vitamin D each day...used to use calcium carbonate but the druggest said citrate absorbes in the body better so switched. My bowels were also very dark and I was concerned about blood in the feces but I saw this as a side effect and stopped worrying. I am watching your posts with great interest and empathy Nicola. I pray you can hang in on this trial. I'll try to think of anything I've forgotten about that diarrhea....now THAT's weird!! lol We're all thinking of you.

Cathy
