Re: Important re Tykerb alone in Adjuvant setting
judylondon-I've had 3 Herceptins so far and I have found it a breeze. The infected toenail I had during Tykerb is back and I have a runny/crusty nose, but that is all. Yes, you have to plan your life around the once-every-3-weeks visit to the hospital, but since I take either the whole day or half a day off, I think of it as a little breathing time in my too busy life. After the infusion, I feel kind of groggy and sleepy so I take a nap. Around 5 o'clock I start feeling more chipper. Last time I worked from 5 to 9 p.m. (I am a musician and had a rehearsal I didn't want to miss), and though I wasn't quite my best, it was alright. I think they are showing good results for Tykerb and Herceptin together and this is a wonderful chance for us to get both of them, even if it is sequentially. I'm thinking that we come out ahead compared to the 'standard of care' which is only Herceptin.
