Tykerb and Xeloda following surgery

[Janet Taylor]

I had a lobectomy a month ago to remove a metastatic breast cancer tumor from my left lung. (In 2006, I had a tumor removed from my right lung. My original diagnosis was in 1993.) I am still feeling weak and limited by the surgery; however, I started on Tykerb and Xeloda a week ago. Has anyone else taken these drugs following surgery? As I have read many of your comments I get the feeling that many of you are leading very full and active lives. I am looking forward to that but don't feel strong enough yet.

Hi Janet,

I don't have an answer to your question. I have mets in the bones, liver, nodes and skin. I wanted to say welcome. I hope that you are feeling better soon. Thanks for posting and I look forward to hearing updates from you.

I am a mester living a full and happy life while in treatment.

Love, Hope, and Peace,

Carolyn
