Hi Becca,
I have been gradually upping my dose of both Tykerb and Xeloda. I have been upping my Tykerb a half tablet every 2 weeks. I am now on 4 and a half, and I am taking 2500mgm of Xeloda every second day and 2000 every other day. I have read where the Tykerb serum blood saturation (?) reaches its peak after 6-7 days. That's when I get the rash. I will stay on 4 and a half, for a month and try to manage the 2500mgm of Xeloda if I can. Otherwise I will go back to 200mgm
