Tarceva side effect

My father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and has taken Tarceva for 15 days. Apart from rash he's got fever two days ago and felt weak. Since this drug is quite new in China and the local doctors don't know much about it. Should he stop the drug?

the rash is pretty common.  The fever could be a sign of infection and should be checked out.  Dont stop the drug on your own without discussing with your doc.
