Re: Tykerb/Xeloda, side effects??
Thanks again, everyone.
Brain MRI last night so waiting for the results today. Waiting after the scan is done seems so much worse than waiting to have the scan! I keep telling myself that whatever is happening with my body is happening whether or not I officially know about it.
Take care amd have a great week!
