side effects
Hi Vanessa,
My oncologist said that they are seeing it in almost everybody. As my hospital has only got to dispense the EAP in the last few months, they are able to keep tabs on how people are responding. (i"m sure every hospital is the same tho) I looked up the dose of Tykerb I am taking and according to the official site 750mgms can be given to people with liver problems. So let's hope I can tolerate it so I can go up to 4 tabs in a week or so. Altho it's early days yet (3 days to be exact) I feel a whole lot better.
