Joanna S - Tykerb success story
 
Hi everyone -
My friend Joanna S asked me to post for her.
Treated on this combo since August 2007.
She was on Tykerb 5 pills a night and max dose of Xeloda for skin mets and problematic nodes.

Latest PET scan was clear, markers are well into normal range. CEA is 1.2 and CA27-29 is down to 22. She is naturally overjoyed. Skin mets and nodes look to be now in control.

Joanna continues on Tykerb after cutting Xeloda in mid-December.

She reports NO rash or hand/foot problems.

Her original diagnosis was DCIS in 1995. Progression to bones, then lymph nodes.

I'm trying to find out how long it takes Tykerb to start working.
