Tykerb question
My oncologist and I are looking at possible treatments for a new reoccurance of her2 cancer in both lungs. My echo shows my heart is too weak for more herceptin, which what I asked for. I will start on navelbine alone next week. My oncologist is considering tykerb too. However I don't swallow pills well, and prefer infusions. Can any of you on tykerb tell me how large the tykerb pills are? Are they capsules or tablets? I understand there are 5 required a day. I had mild side effects with herceptin and took it and navelbine for 15 weeks in 2005 until my ef dropped too low to continue. I've been cancer free for nearly 6 years so was hoping to use herceptin again. I would appreciate any suggestions and info about tykerb use from those familiar with it. Is it indicated even with the low heart efficiency? Thank you so much! TriciaK
