Magnolia, there are many helpful hints on dealing with Tykerb/Xeloda by Brenda (hutchibk) on the Herceptin/Tykerb forum. Browsing through that might help you. I was on that combo almost 11 months and did have many issues with diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, hand/foot, rash, etc. I learned to deal with most of it or to tolerate it. Some like Brenda have had almost no side effects, so Jenny may not either. Hope your friend does well on the combo.
