Re: herceptin + tykerb (no xeloda)

I am on Tykerb/Herceptin combo for neoadjuvent therapy. I'm currently taking 1000 mg of Tykerb and getting Herceptin every 3 weeks. I just completed 12 weeks and have 12 more to go before surgery. I've had occasional diarrhea, but nothing debilitating. I did have some other symptoms, such as fatigue, weight gain, and breaking hair, but recently learned that my thyroid meds were being supressed by the Tykerb. Since ajusting the levoxyl, I noticed that my fatigue is not as sever and for a change, I even lost 2 lbs on my last weigh in. All in all, my symptoms have been minimal.
