interesting

what does your onc say about this. we tend to blame everything on xeloda because i've probably been sicker with that than tykerb. but as i said in my post, both my brand new gastro doc and onc have admitted that they can't say for sure if it's one or the other or the combo. why don't you call the glaxo-smithkline and ask them. that's what i did with roche last sept. because my onc said the se's were not from xeloda and i felt they were. and now with pancreatitis they are tracking me (as required by law to report additional se's after trials to fda). i do have a + abdominal node right up against my pancreas which they thought was the cause at first, however my many scans in hospital showed that that node had gotten smaller so that didn't make sense. i'm assuming you're not on xeloda too? keep me posted...this is a very serious se. take care, grandma2
