My Dad Is Fading Fast

My dad had a surgery for his gastric cancer two years ago, and went through multiple chemo after that. he was suffering but doing OK, until about 2 months ago when CT scan revealed cloud all over his lungs and it was clearly very late stage lung cancer. The doctor gave us 3-4 months. He has been trying many things over the last two months, but I can clearly see that he's weakening and fading away, coughing and shortness of breath, etc. I really want to have him try Tarceva, but the problem is that he's now in China and is too weak to travel. Tarceva is not available in China. Can someone help? maybe leftover Tarceva from your relatives? I am in San Jose, CA, although we don't have a lot of money, but I am willing to do whatever I can for my dad. Any help or suggestion is highly appreciated. We are running out of time....

Sean,

Can YOU go to China and bring Tarceva to him in your pocket? Tarceva is just a tablet, not an ampule or syringe - you CAN have it on the airplane...

My brother works for the Company that makes Tarceva and has told me about a program at the company that provides the drug to families in need. You should contact Genentech directly. Genentech has also just got approaval for a new lung cancer drug called Avastin. Good luck to you and God Bless.
