Re: Tykerb/ herception in stage 3a locally advanced patients
My Tykerb is sent to me via UPS, usually the day after I order it. Never thought about the temperature thing, but not much I can do about it
The biggest complaint I have with Tykerb is that my liver numbers are up.....then back to normal.....then up....then normal. It's like a roller coaster. The diarrhea is manageable and it seems like it isn't as bad as when I first started. I still have 6 months to go on Tykerb, then I will continue on with Herceptin and also Arimidex, since my cancer recurred not only Her2+, but weakly ER+.
One thing I noticed.....Tykerb and dairy do not mix....diarrhea is worse if I eat dairy. I miss scrambled eggs, sour cream or even a bowl of ice cream.
