Aus - I'm taking only 2 Tykerb pills/day. I started with 5/day, but se were too severe - not only diarrhea, but infected fingers & toes that would not heal. I had to stop herceptin because of congestive heart failure, so Tykerb was my only option. My mets are under control so far (4 1/2 years), even with only 2 pills/day. I do get faslodex every month, and zometa every other month. My point is, don't fret about not being able to take all 5 pills/day - a lesser dose may work just as well without all the difficult side effects.
Hang in there,
Beth
