Re: ? about Tykerb Duration
Ha ha well still no reply from my onc so I think I'm going to start taking 3 pills with food/protein/fat whatever.  I had been taking 5 pills with no food before or after, did that for 3 yrs. Fingers crossed I can do well with 3 pills and some protein (milk in my am coffee), I will get scanned in 2 months so we'll see! But so far, so good, no bad feeling after taking the 3.
