Hi Sheila,

I took my Tykerb (4 pills) in the morning and then waited to eat. I didn't have any issues with Tykerb. I hope that you get a long ride out of it. Herceptin and Tykerb were one of my easiest treatment combos. It held me for 3 months.

I am still going to Detroit every week for the TDM1 trial. I get treated every three weeks... the other weeks are just blood work and heart testing. It has been harder than I thought it would be but the lump in my neck and the lump on my chest are down by at least 50% 1.5 weeks after my second dose. I don't know if you are still looking into this trial while you wait for your insurance company. I know that many more locations have opened.

I wish you all of the best!

Love, Hope, Peace, Carolyn
