Xeloda/Tykerb Help
Hi ladies,
I have only had one treatment of xeloda/tykerb so far. This week I am on tykerb only but I have been running to the bathroom frequently. The doctor believes it is the Xeloda not the tykerb doing this. He does not want me to start Xeloda again until this is under control. This combo seems to be working. After only one treatment my skin rash is signifigantly lighter. I do not want to delay treatment.
The over the counter meds like immodium do not seem to make much difference. Has anyone tried the immodium tablets? Are they more effective?
Tonya
