Re: Tykerb/Xeloda, side effects??
Liz- I must have chemo brain because I swear I posted my results on here! My brain MRI was clear, thank God. My vision is a mess but I can mentally deal with it much better knowing it is not being caused by a big brain lesion. I go back to MDA next week for PEt and follow-up and I am just hopoing I get good news on my PET scan as well.
How are you doing on the T/X combo? I hope you are doing well. I do notice the back/rib/sternal pain seems to get better the week I am off Xeolda.
Thanks for checking on me!
Lori
