I have been on Xeloda?Tykerb for about 6 weeks and have had some itching/rash but my onc lowered my dose on both and the rash is gone. She believes that you adjust the meds (everyone is sodifferent when it comes to chemo doses) so that the symptoms stay stable, but doeasn't believe you should experience severe symptoms, like diarhea or bad rashes. Hope this helps you and the best to you. Love, Vickie
