Sally, hope you are feeling better. I can't help you much on your question, but have had my xeloda lowered twice. I am to take the tykerb 5 a day if possible, or less if necessary. Occasionally I vomit after taking the tykerb. I also have nausea each day as you do. It is intermittent, so I can eat at times--but nothing ever sounds good. I tried sipping gingerale yesterday and I think it helped me with the nausea. Meds for nausea have not helped much except the ones that make me very sleepy. Yes, your onc will probaby up the dose of Tykerb as you tolerate it. Hope you do better this time on it. Very good news that Brenda has done so well on T/X--hope we do too.
