Xeloda/Tykerb
Hello everybody,
I've started Tykerb/Xeloda about a week ago. 5 Tykerb/day and 2Xeloda/day. I had to stop taking them because of the side effects. Skin break out, rash, severe diarrhea, headache, hand and foot syndrome, mouth sores, nausea, etc.
I saw my oncologist this morning and told her that I stop taking the meds. She told me to reduce it to 3 pills a day. I'm so scared to take the pills again. I don't know what to do. I'm so confused :-(
july 2003- lumpectomy right breast stage2. 6 chemo adriamycin/cytoxin and 38 radiation in 2004
tamoxifen for a year
recurrence in 2006-same breast with both lungs mets 6 chemo Taxol/Herceptin....Herceptin for one year
May 2007- pea size tumor in underarm that's why doc switched me on Tykerb/Xeloda
