I just thought I would touch base with my new treatment which is tykerb/xeloda. I've been tolerating it well. I have been a little sick to my stomache. I just started compazine for that. It seems to be working. I haven't had a rash . I did have a headache for the first week. Do you get more side effects the longer you are on these drugs? Or do you get used to it and tolerate it better as you go. I'm sure everyone is different but would love to hear what you have to say. Does anyone take the tykerb with anything but water? I have a hard time drinking water so it's hard to get all those pills down with something I hate to drink. I know it has to be on any empty stomache so I am assuming nothing but water. Thanks for any replies . Sally
