Re: Tykerb + different chemo than Xeloda?

Thanks, PatE and everyone! I don't know that I'm a good candidate for cyberknife in my liver. It's about 25% cancer, and unfortunately it's a bunch of different sized tumors and lesions throughout,...

Re: Scan results weren't good

Sorry to hear progression. I'm in a similar situation. I had mixed results in my liver, some shrunk, some grew, some new. I'm on Tykerb because it breaks to blood brain barrier, and since I have...
