Esther-

Although my onc talked to me about it over a week ago, only today did they have me fill out the paperwork. I wil see how long it takes to get. Also am not certain about insurance, but I am hoping it will be covered. I was on tykerb previously (with xeloda) and had no additional side effects, as I already had H/F and diarrhea.

Regards,
