Re: Stomach Sounds-yikes :tykerb-herceptin combo
For the first time the other night I experienced the gurgling churning stomach at bedtime. The only difference I could relate it to was not having waited a full hour after eating before taking the tykerb (wanted to go to bed!). Last night I took my 3 tykerb shortly after eating (more than 30 min after) instead of the xeloda (oops, need better lighting!), so I just went ahead and took the xeloda at the same time rather than missing a dose. I figured I'd pay for this somehow, but was curious to see what would happen, and...nothing! I didn't notice any difference. I don't plan to make this a habit of course!
