How long can you take Tykerb?
You can take Tykerb for as long as it keeps on preventing your cancer from growing and you are still tolerating it and not having unacceptable side effects. Your doctor will help you make this decision based on what you tell them and what they are seeing clinically, taking into account laboratory tests and investigations.
