My daughter had 2 rounds of Temodar along with Avastin for her brain mets. Unfortunately, she is experiencing progression on that treatment plan so they are now putting her on Tykerb. We are pushing for Tykerb AND Xeloda but so far her onc won't do the Xeloda unless the liver mets progress. A second opinion we sought out agreed with his. She tolerated Temodar fairly well and had nausea and fatigue with it. However she only did 2 rounds of 5 days each and then was off of it for 23 days each time, but had Avastin every other week via IV. My best to you
