Re: Is there an "ideal" time of day to take tykerb?
Thought I would check in and let everyone know how I am doing  Doctor has allowed me to discontinue tykerb and herceptin after 2 years of treatments. While I am happy not to be taking the meds, I am scared, as this has been the only thing, I think, keeping the her2 at bay. Nervous, and every little pain in my head causes me to immediately think cancer! Will I ever got to the point where I'll just think its a headache? lol. Last pet scan was clear, go back in October for a follow up PET. any comments or suggestions you care to share on your journey after completing tykerb and herceptin treatment? I am thinking my hair will take off and start growing normally, or at least I can hope, lol. I think the tykerb made it extra curly this time around .
Thank you all for being here, this forum has been a great help and source of information for me over the past 3 years of my cancer fight.
