I'm currently on the TEACH Trial. Just finishsed my first three months of meds. My heart scans showed to be ok which I'm greatful for! I am having very strong bone pain in my feet, which I don't know to be a side effect. It's not the bottom but sides and tops. Much bone pain. Anyone ever have this effect on Tykerb? Just curious! Don't know what to do about it!

Symptoms that I have had on Tykerb but have subsided:
Diarhhea
mouth sores
sore scalp
heart palplitations
dry nose which has led to bleeding
tingling in hands/feet
some nausea
Acne on face/chest (has not subsided)
Now foot pain.
All all pretty well tolerable so far.
