Tykerb w/o Xeloda?
Hello,
I feel like we should keep this thread going about Tykerb, since I'm sure a lot of people are about to start it now that it has been approved.
Lisa, you are taking Tykerb by itself or in combination with sg?
I wish I did not have to take it with Xeloda, because it sounds like Xeloda is the one with the worse side effects.
I'm waiting for my approval from GSK.
Best wishes,
Odette
