Joyce,
I take Tykerb 5 pills in the morning on an empty stomach, wait one hour before eating, and I do not have cramp, sometimes mild diahrrea (sp?). My oncologist told me to take it on an empty stomach to avoid stomach problems, and it has worked for me. Maybe she should try taking it. I hope she feels better soon.
Hugs,
KarlaV.
