while some of the mg dosage seems high, remember it is weight and height based. i started at 2500mg/m2, which for me based on weight (135) was 2150/2x day, totaling 4300 mg. after 2 cycles and then experiencing nasty H/F and everything else, my dosage was reduced 25%, to 1875mg/m2, which for my weight is 1650/2x day, totalling 3300 mg ( it's difficult to play with it much further as I am on a clinical trial, and want to stay on it...).
the safer number to talk about in terms of dosage is the m2 number, because the final calculation of your height and how much you weigh will determine the actual number of pills you take...altho it's early and my math may be wrong, it would seem that beth is taking around 1775mg/m2 and kim was taking about 2500mg/m2...
...and lu ann, lapatinib is oral, once a day (for me 5 pills)...
