Hi Kim, you're on a great combo. Sorry, can't help with the hand/foot syndrome question. However, with the Tykerb, the BRAT diet should help, and in the her2group room, Hucklebuck and another person were discussing remedies for "grippe" sp? as they used to call it in the olden days. May be of some help. Thoughts and prayers to you, MiLady, Bill (and Katie don't worry that you can't spell diadamagainarhea, 'cause nobody can spell it, even the guy that invented it, that's why in the old days they called it "the grippe", and they couldn't even spell that right. Everytime we have to spell the word, "dhiaremia", I know it takes everyone 5 minutes to try to figure it out, and then it never looks right, so we all feel ignorant and say" I took Tykerb and got diaryarea sp?" From now on, maybe we should say, "I've got a bad case of grip", and leave it at that. Just an idea, don't mind me)
