Hope dear,

I'm so sorry to hear about your miserable situation. A couple of thoughts:your Xeloda is a low dose. Has your doc talked about increasing it. If not, why not?

Also, at one time I had the same scare about Morphine. But for the past 3 years, I have taken 15mg morning and night. No side effects at all that I can tell. Although I know your liver is not your primary concern, morphine is better for the liver than OTC pain meds.

I, too, am waiting for Tykerb. My doc said yesterday they (SGK) keep sending him papers to sign. Like has he done previous clinical trials, etc. So it looks I've "passed the grade" and soon as they're satisfied with his (wonderful) credentials, we'll be rolling.

Hang in there Hope.No fear.

Love and light,

Lisa
