Nerlynx is a relatively new form of treatment, FDA approved in just under two years ago. Unfortunately, diarrhea is the most common side effect. Have you spoken to your oncologist about how to deal with this? According to Breastcancer.org you should be able to take a loperamide such as Imodium or Kaopectate 1-D. Please speak with your Oncologist first though.
