Gary,
Thanks for the tip on the cream for the head sores. I tried going down to the 100 mg Tarceva again for 2 weeks and it didn't help the head sores. Looks like I need plan B and you might have the answer. I had tried Bactran cream but it doesn't get rid of them, it just softens them. Thanks. Hope you are feeling well otherwise, I am OK except for the sores.

Subject: if You Don't Have Symptoms Does it Mean It's Not Working?

Hi,

My mother is stage IV NSCLC and decided against chemo or radiation. She started on Tarceva about 3 weeks ago and has had no symptoms..zero. I know the blisters are a marker that the drug is working. I'm not sure what it means if you have NO symptoms at all. Does that mean it is just not working? If anyone has the answer, please let me know. Don't worry about hurting my feelings. I just need to know.

To all of you who are benefitting from the Tarceva, that's awesome!

Thanks for any inforamtion you can provide.
