Lapatinib/Xeloda EAP
I started on the L/X EAP nearly 2 weeks ago. Persevered with diahhrea and mild nausea for a week then rang my Onc. She sent me to GP to be checked out and have a blood test for electrolytes and took me off Xeloda. I have been off Xeloda for nearly 5 days but still have diahhrea although not as bad. I thought it was just the Xeloda as I was on 2000mg twice a day, which seems high by reading other people's posts. I am now worried that maybe the Lapatinib is disagreeing with me and don't want to have to discontinue as I don't know what other options I have. I took Immodium a couple of times but it gave me a stomach ache, seemed like a build up of gas. I go back to my Onc next Tues.
Anyone have the same diahhrea problems and any suggestions for easing the problem would be appreciated.
