Stopping Tykerb
I have been taking tykerb for a week and have decided to stop it. The diahrea is so bad. Every time I eat something it goes right through me like a water faucet. Immodium does not help. I am so weak from this. I was taking it with Herceptin as a preventative. My Oncologist wasn't even sure I should do this but since I insisted, he agreed. I figure if my cancer comes back and I need to get on this, I will have to put up with the side effects. But right now it's just not worth it. Why put my body through this until I need it. ...sherryg683
