Re: herceptin + tykerb (no xeloda)

Anyone with blurry vision issues and/or severe weakness in legs on Tykerb and Herceptin? I was on Herceptin for about a year, went to Tykerb and Xeloda about four months ago, now on Tykerb and Herceptin and no Xeloda for about the last month. I'm having a spine MRI Tuesday to see if it's the cancer in my spine or compression fracture I already have placing stress on my spinal chord. I wondered if anyone else might have experienced the weakness or blurry vision issues?
