I'm also on a reduced dose due to side effects. From 5 pills/day to 3pills to 4pills now back to 3pills/day plus 2pills of Xeloda. My skin is so dry and It's not fun at all. I feel so tired all the time but still working Monday-Friday 9to5. Have no choice.
I've been having so much pain for the past few days. I'm taking Oxycodone for pain at bedtime. I just felt a new lump again last night (right armpit) it's bigger than the one they saw from the CT scan about four weeks ago. They didn't even see this one from the last test. HOw could it grow so fast!? It didn't even show in my ultrasound, only that pea size tumor.
Does that mean I'm not responding to my TYkerb treatment? What's next?
Sorry for sounding negative.
