How Long Have You Been On Tykerb & How Is Your Rash?
I've Been On Tykerb A Little Over 2 Months. My Rash Started 2 Weeks After Treatment. It Was A Mild Case Mainly On Face. It Cleared Up And Now Its Back On My Neck & Chest. I Guess It Would Be Considered Mild But It Bugs The Heck Out Of Me. My Doctor Prescribed Me Something But Nothing Seems To Work. I Can Cover A Lot Of It Up With Make-up But I'm Not Lying When I Tell You I Am A Scary Site In The Morning. Its Been Over 2 Months Since Last I.v. Chemo And My Hair Is Coming Back But I Have A Bald Spot Right Up Front. There's A Few Hairs But That Spot Seems To Be 2 Months Behind The Rest Of My Hair. I Am Grateful I Am Alive But I Don't Look So Good And Just Felt Like Venting A Little. I Would Like To Know How The Rest Of You Are Doing On Tykerb And If Your Rash Is Better Or Worse.
