Lala - thank you so much for your response. Right now I am on 5 Tykerb/day and 6 xeloda/day - 3 in the morning and 3 in the evening - 14 days on and 7 days off of xeloda - right now I am off the xeloda for the 7 days. What was your dosage of xeloda reduced to and what did you start with? I was told to take just 1/4 imodium so I'm not too constipated. When you talk about bulking up what foods are you talking about? I have been drinking lots of water and drinking propel for the electrolytes - what electrolyte pill are you taking? I also eat a banana/day for the potassium which is normally good. Any more info you have and answers to my questions would help as I see the Onc on Wed. and want to be more knowledgable. Also, how long before your side effects subsided - I'm ready to throw in the towel which is not me at all. Plse. let me know.
Thanks and hugs to you
Bailey
