I recently started Tykerb and I am stll on a very low dose due to severe naseau(sp?). I am going from 1 pill to 2 pills tonight. That is the main side effect I have with Tykerb.

I was on Abraxane for about 5 months and will begin it again this coming Friday. I was on a high dose, but my onc. is going to lower it a bit. The side effects I had with abraxane are about the same as I had when I took taxotere. I don't know what the combined side effects are, but we can compare notes later. Good luck with your new tx!
