supposed to start tykerb/xeloda tomorrow - help!
I am supposed to start tykerb/xeloda tomorrow. Any advice or things I should do? I am so scared.
The pharmacist said to take the tykerb on an empty stomache, all 5 at once. CAn I take this with my morning coffee? I am supposed to also take xeloda, two pills twice a day with food - 14 days on 7 days off.
I am 49 years old and have been fighting this for 11 years and am not ready to give up! Last week I was told I have metastatic etc...lungs and sternum and also had elevated markers for the first time. (oy).
I remember taking xeloda with herceptin in 2002 but I seem to remember that I could only last on xeloda a short time due to stomach probs. I remember being told to "stay ahead" of pain, nausea, etc. Is it the same advice on this regime? Thanks for taking time to respond and I look forward to some insight. -Flori
