Yeah Tykerb started

[H&B]

Hi All

I wanted to quickly post and say that my lovely wife (38yrs) who has been fighting for the last 6 mths to get access to Tykerb finally recieved her first dose this week. She has been on Herceptin for last 2 years. has mets to bone & lungs, plueral effusion 2 months ago. Couple of questions if anyone can offer some advice.

Seems that most of you that are on Tykerb have had the side effects pass after a few weeks. She is very tired and also has diahrrea. Have you adjusted the number of tablets depending on how you were feeling?

Oxygen, she has been very short of breath due to fluid build up in lung after a horrific plueral tap she is not keen for another just yet. Has anyone reversed there lung mets and or fluid build up with tykerb?

Thank you all for being wonderful support to each other and I hope we can enjoy some wonderful success on Tykerb also.

Thanks

Harald
