T/X side effects
Hi Sally, I hadn't seen your post when I posted requesting advice re doses. Glad to hear that there is someone out there also experimenting with doses. I am off it for a week, then 3 Tykerb + Xeloda. I see my onc to start back on the meds on Monday. I think I will suggest staying off Xeloda for another week and just battle with Tykerb in a reduced form for a week. It makes sense to go slowly when your system has been beaten black and blue.
Regards, Roz
