Re: Neratinib Clinical Trial

Kriss,
I started the trial on Oct 7 and have the violent side effects like you did AND I ended up with severly depleted potassium and magnesium from the diarrhea. They found all that at my 1 month appointment and I spent the next two months trying to get potassium and magnesium back to normal and going through dose reduction.
I reduced to 200 mg and have almost as violent a reaction as the 240 mg, uncontrollable diarrhea with lomotil and immodium and still had problems with potassium and magnesium.
I got reduced again to 160 mg and it has been a WORLD of difference- I think we finally found a dosage my body can handle!!!!!

Talk to your nurse if it is still that bad- she should have the guidelines to get you to a dose that is tolerable!

Kristy
