Wow. Thank you ladies. I know I posted at the right place!! I have been on the Tykerb now for almost 3 weeks. I keep hearing what a great combo it is – I sure hope so. I hope the Tykerb does it’s job.
It’s just so scary because I feel like if this doesn’t work I will be on chemo forever, despite being Her2+. Actually I probably will. I am curious why she wouldn’t put me on Xeloda…I will ask at my November appointment. I was on briefly and erroneously before and I actually did not tolerate it very well, but I was on 3,600 mg and she only puts people on 2,000 mg in her clinic.
Thank you again for your posts and information. I appreciate it…I will keep you updated.
