Hello Irene-
I agree w/ the others - you are an inspiration. I don't know anything about Avastin, but I am on the xeloda w/ or without tykerb trial. I was getting the arm without tykerb, but in April we all started getting both. Tykerb seems to have very few side effects that you don't already get with xeloda. The major 2 issues with xeloda are H/F syndrome and diarrhea. Adding tykerb to the mix added fatigue for the 1st few days, and a little more frequent diarrhea.
Both drugs are in pill form,and thus I only visit the doctor once every 3 months (with blood draws every 3 weeks). I am stable now, but hope the scans in Aug w a bit more time on the tykerb will kick things back even further.
Good luck w things, and keep us posted!
