Xeloda and Tykerb tomorrow - side effects?

[jml]

Hi Maria Isabel- I don't know if your lost post/question was directed to me, but I thought I'd go ahead and respond.
I was on Tykerb/Xeloda for about 5 months last Summer-Fall, but progressed on that combo so switched to Tykerb/Herceptin.
Progressed on that too, so switched to Ixempra/Herpectin.
I've been on this combo since February and am on my 5th cycle now.
Ixempra is a pretty tough drug -the toughest of all the many drug combos I've been on during this 8 year journey. I'm not able to work currently, my mom & sisters have been traveling back & forth to stay with me & help keep me on my feet. There are many days that I don't leave the house because my energy is so low.
BUT, it's working really well to clean up the lymph nodes in my belly and that's what counts.
My doc says I may get to take a break after this cycle & scans, so I'm holding on to that. In the meantime, I'll just lie low, watch lots HGTV and spend quality time with my family.
This is only temporary and I will have my health and balance back to my life very soon.
Hope this info is helpful.
Keep the Faith~
