Hi Debbie,

I was reading your history and wondering why your onc has not suggested Tykerb/Xeloda. I started this regimen back in May for lung and liver mets and have had amazing results. After just 6 week, my lung mets were gone and liver mets are half the size. I also find this the easiest regimen I have ever been on - little or no side effects.
