I am her2 positive with mets. to lung area (so far it is staying there)..anyway..after 6 mos. of avastin/taxotere..which showed good results..I am presently taking herceptin treatments.. one, every three weeks for a three month period then after this next pet scan in May the dr. is talking about putting me on tykerb which is the pill form of herceptin.. has anyone out there in this forum been on this medicine, and how have you faired with it? Are the side effects tolerable..they have been so far with the herceptin except for a little diarhea and tiredness.. how is the tykerb administered? Do you go to the pharmacy to get a prescription refilled or what? Lots of questions..?? It is always informative to hear from others here, who have already been where I find myself heading..
thankyou for any input..it is much appreciated, and usually very helpful..
