cathy,

I have been on tykerb since the beginning of Aug., in the trial of tykerb/herceptin. When I was on just herceptin i didn't have any side affects so when I started this trial I feel that the side affects were due to the tykerb. I got diarrea bad for a couple of days. I then got a rash very badly on my face that looked like really bad acne...that too went away with time. I knew my body just had to adjust to this new drug and it pretty much did.

I too have 3 kids who are 9,7 and 3.

I wish you only the best

Steph
