Re: Just started Tykerb/Xeloda and worried this combo won't work either :-(
Lori, try to be patient, as you can see, I have had great success with X/Ty and you can too! If you do a search on this site you will see many people have used it with outstanding results.
And please do not overlook the other areas of your life that need some attention. You need to eat healthfully, exercise, and reduce your stress! All of these things contribute in the fight against cancer.
Make time for yourself to beat this disease, and just try to be patient and give this combo a chance.
