Brenda - I haven't had any nausea so far, but I never really have with any of my chemo (I must have an iron stomach). Did your onc say why he is prescribing 3500mg? I didn't know what the dosage was at the time I saw mine last, so I haven't had a chance to find out, the Tykerb information sheet I printed out from Glasco talks about 2000. Just curious.
