Re: herceptin + tykerb (no xeloda)
There is a soap that might help you with the rash, Cephalon, I found it at the local grocery store, the chemo nurses recommended it. It helped me.
I started Herceptin while still doing chemo in 2008, Tykerb was added a year later. Minimal problems, diahrea on rare occasions and the lovely rash. Started with 1000 mg. once a day, split the dosage into twice a day, 500 mg. each, to help with the rash.
Recently had to stay with family out of town for 4 months, going back and forth between 2 houses. Did not have the cephalon soap and ended up with the rash coming back strong. Back home now and using the soap again and rash is improving again.
