Starting Tykerb/Xeloda this weekend...

[jml]

Hi All~

After much deliberation, I've decided to start on Tykerb+Xeloda to beat back these sternal nodes (& hopefully ALL mets, everywhere)!
Thank you to everyone who's posted here - w/helpful hints & info about dosing- how & when- the SE's-like rash, diarrhea, hand/foot syndrome - & proper diet, etc.
I have to admit, I feel a little strange about abandoning Herceptin, as it has been part of my regimen since my diagnosis 7 years ago. But it seems like it's just not working for me anymore as a solo agent, & not effective enough to really knock this disease out when combined with chemo.
Keeping fingers crossed for The Rash!

Thanks again, everyone.

Keep the Faith~
