Re: herceptin + tykerb (no xeloda)

Wow there's alot to know about taking Tykerb! I just started it a week ago and have had many trips to the bathroom! I go tomorrow for my Herceptin and it seems to be worse when I take them together.I have been on and off Herceptin four years now and occasionally have had bathroom issues with it.
My question is does anyone have a burning sensation in your nose? Also, a bunch of zits appeared overnight along my nose, is it a rash or a zit? They are actually sore too.I never have had acne other thatn the occasional zit, there a probably 5!And they are knid of white.
Thanks for all your posts,It's good to hear I'm not the only one!

Re: herceptin + tykerb (no xeloda)

There is a soap that might help you with the rash, Cephalon, I found it at the local grocery store, the chemo nurses recommended it. It helped me.

I started Herceptin while still doing chemo in 2008, Tykerb was added a year later. Minimal problems, diahrea on rare occasions and the lovely rash. Started with 1000 mg. once a day, split the dosage into twice a day, 500 mg. each, to help with the rash.

Recently had to stay with family out of town for 4 months, going back and forth between 2 houses. Did not have the cephalon soap and ended up with the rash coming back strong. Back home now and using the soap again and rash is improving again.
