Aliceann:

I take the Tykerb 3 weeks on, then 1 week break. I had alot of breakouts and rash with the 5 pill a day regimen, so on my own (oh oh!!) cut it back to 3 pills a day.

I take Xeloda 2 pills twice a day. I was on a 2 weeks on, one week off, but my onc just changed me to one week on, one week off.

Even with this downsized schedule I continue to see marvelous results. When I owned to my onc that I had reduced the dosage, he said perhaps I only needed 3 pills of the Tykerb regimen.
