Horrible scan AEs with Tykerb?
I have never had bad ae's with PET scan diet or infusion...except for today! Horrible nausea, headache, and dizziness after scan today, which is the 1st one while taking Tykerb. Could that be the association?
Zofran and Advil didn't help and my BP was low so my hubby insisted on taking me to the dr for IV meds which stopped helping 10 min after I finished. I haven't felt this bad since I was on chemo so I wonder if it was caused by anxiety over scan, a virus, Tykerb or misbehaving liver.
Yes, I am obsessing about every physical symptom lately but I can't stop.
