update
Hi All,
I have upped my dose of Tykerb to 4 a day and reduced the Xeloda to 2000mgm a day. I notice in the trials it was 2000mgm per day, so why has it been upped to 3000mgm, can anyone tell me?
I also had a little diarrhoea after stopping the Tykerb, and hit it with Gastro Ag,(Brenda I think that is like Bentonite Clay?) as well as slippery elm and root marshmallow. I took 2 Immodium and that evening saw the acupuncturist. Talk about big guns!! since seeing the acupucturist,(24 hours ago) I have been tired. She said to expect that, so here's hoping it goes away soon. I also got a terrible rash this time on my arms. I will start back on the Xeloda in a few days so I have my fingers crossed.
