Tykerb only

I have been on Tykerb since May, and have also experienced the "runs" as a side effect. The issues everyone else has with acne, finger and toenails, etc. have also been a problem for me. I have never taken Xeloda - but was on herceptin for 3 years until I developed congestive heart failure.

My heart function has drastically improved on Tykerb, but I much preferred the herceptin because I had no side effects at all from it.

My onocologist is very up to date on the latest research, and I trust him completely, so I'll endure the problems to stay as healthy as I can.
