Tykerb update!
It has been only 5 days but I can see a big difference in my chest. The rash is 75% gone and the burning and itching is nearly gone!! I was having pain in the fat pad of the arm and around the port was hard and puffy. That has improved, pain in the arm, nearly gone and puffiness nearly gone around the port. Have stopped my pain medication I needed to sleep at night. I pray these great results for all those that are on this drug or waiting to get it. I am anxious to get an update on Irene both on her trip and the drug. Will continue to keep you update. hugs, Sandy
