Apparently everyone who is being prescribed Tykerb will be getting a call from Tykerb Cares program.

I had actually called in for information on the reported rashes, and ended up having my phone call yesterday.

It ended up taking an hour and a half, and was given no additional information than what i already have. They would not even give me any information or suggestions on how to help heal the rash. They just directed me to ask my onc, which I had already done, but I was curious if there was anything in particular that had worked well in the trials. They would not share any information of that type at all.

For me, this was a waste of time and not helpful at all....They are probably spending alot of money on these people being asked to call all the Tykerb users, and in my opinion, those resources would be better spent in some other area.
