I'm only taking 2 with Herceptin- 3 made me too sick. Anyone else out there taking Tykerb/Herceptin for stage 1 early breast cancer? My onc says any amount is better than none, better to take what you can handle than take more and have to stop- I had to take a week off when I got a fever and was having very dry eye problems, along with a dry cough.
