Re: herceptin + tykerb (no xeloda)

I haven't had any side affects to Herceptin. On Tykerb I had over freq.bathroom breaks w/severe diaria no matter what I did I couldn't find balance and didn't want to leave home.
I read about diphen/atrop and wanted to know how many pills to take they gave me a prescription to help me gain control. After a month or so I learned taking one the first five min. I woke up and than taking another five min. after taking the Tykerb I didn't have too be in the bathroom frequently anymore. Hugs. I hope that you do not experience those problems on Tykerb.Hugs
