Re: Brain Rads Tykerb not feeling great

mjones, have you been dealing with lung mets for 15 years? You are understandably feeling low after 15 yrs and then to have it come back like that. I find tyverb very tolerable, maybe you will begin to feel better soon, I would think its the shock of what you've been thru rather than tyverb that has you feeling low. You will get good advice here. hang in there. You could check up Courtney's posts. She is an inspiration. Check out what she says about Boswellia.
