Hi All,

I am starting Xeloda and Tykerb tomorrow. Navelbine has begun to fail so it is off to a new treatment. I have been on Herceptin for 3 years now in a metastatic setting.

I took Herceptin and Tykerb for a while together a couple of years ago and did very well for about 3 months.

Questions: Nausea - I have had it with all chemos but have never been on chemo every day. Has anyone else had nausea with every chemo and not with Xeloda? How do you treat nausea with Xeloda? I have Zofran but will I need to take it every day?

Thanks, Carolyn
