Tykerb/Xeloda - continuing anti estrogen??
I have a question for my fellow warriors on Tykerb/Xeloda? Is your onc keeping you on anti-estrogen therapy also? Although I technically advanced on an AI, Lani's post of 5/2 regarding the triple targeted therapy approach to cure breast ca in mice got me thinking. So I asked my onc today about going back on Aromasin, and he said although it wasn't part of the original protocal, he didn't see any reason not to do it (except for the hot flashes and joint issues -which is all bearable). What about you? I'd love to hear what the rest of you are doing.
