Re: Side effects of Tykerb
My side effect was more like a rash. It has since disappeared. I do have more gas than usual, but my stomach pains during the night have resolved. I no longer deal with side effects, perhaps because I only take 4 tablets each morning. I continue to be pretty energetic, with no more fatigue than any of my friends who are not in treatment. I am tolerating the Herceptin/Tykerb very well and am also eating just about what I want. My markers are normal. Hopefully, I will continue to do well on this drug. I do dislike taking the pills in the morning, and occasionally having to wait to eat breakfast after I arrive at school. I am very upset by how many members we have lost during the past few months, and feel fortunate at the moments that I am doing so well. My first granddaughter was born on August 26th. She is now 7 months old and lives only ten minutes away. I never thought almost six years ago that I would live to enjoy a grandchild. Of course, now I yearn to be here even longer.
Best wishes,
Barbara H.
