Re: Tykerb Diet
Just wanted to share that I had no stomach problems while on Tykerb/Herceptin--had an issue one time but avoided salads and the usual stuff I knew would upset my stomach.
Msleslie, I had really bad stomach cramps while on TCH and it seems I remember they got worse around the 3rd one. I was not on Tykerb at the time like you are but wanted to share that. Could is be possible it's the TCH and not the Tykerb? Just wanted to throw that out since you mentioned you had not had the problems before.
