Question Re: Please post your two cents on Herceptin "side effects" real or perceived!

This thread contains alot on the side efects of herceptin.What about the side effects of Tykerb/Xeloda combination.During the week she is on xeloda (with tykerb) she is more tired and less appetite and the colour of her palms turn dark.She occasionally gets preesure or pain in the lower abdominal region she says (THE PAIN AS SHE WAS HAVING DURING HER aamPERIODS) I am wondering whether this is a common side effect of Tykerb
