T side effects, last status
 
This is the latest status of my side effects on Tykerb. I am only taking Tykerb now. (And Aromasine). It started OK but now after 6 weeks;

Fatigue,
Thusrt
Hand and Feet syndrome came back. I had it on Taxol but it had stopped 3 months after end of chemo.
Previously existing pains seem much worse: neuropathy in arm, important pain in back
Acne type pimples around nose, on shoulders
Rash on neck and back
Diarrhea, stomach pain

My onc told me to take it 4 weeks and stop 2 weeks. I do not know why this is better than reducing the number of pills from 5 to 4 .
I have stopped working for the first time although I have had some very difficult episodes before from the treatments and was still suffering from some.
However..I will continue!

I Hope You Find Some Relief From Your Symptoms. I Know It Is Hard To Stop Working But You Need The Rest. I Will Be Starting Tykerb In A Few Months If My Current Treatment Shrinks My Lymph Nodes. I Hope You Will Feel Better Soon.
