dosing of xeloda and tykerb

hi michelle, I have been thru 3 cycles of xeloda and tykerb and 3 times my onc had to stop all drugs for a period of 4 to 5 days added to my week off cause between the hands and feet syndrome and diarrhea they drug me down so far. This cycle I take only 3 xeloda a day and 2 tykerb. I am on my 8th day of the cycle and I feel like a human being again. In order for the symptoms to stop you must stop until they dissapate. Hopefully your onc will find a happy medium with your dosage. Good luck, I know firsthand how painful the hands and feet syndrome can be. linda
