No rash with Tarceva

I have been on Tarceva for 12 days and the rash is supposed to show up between days 8 and 12. Well, I have no rash.  I check my face every day and nothing.  I'm worried that this means the Tarceva isn't working.  Has anyone had the rash show up later?

Dont panick yet. It took a while for my mom to have rash / measle type...We almost thought it did not work!!!   First signs were red face & red chest....  gradually you willl have dry skin and acne/rash like in the nose and face & chest area...

I have such oily skin on my face that if I jumped into the ocean it would cause an oil slick.  Maybe that is the problem.  I notice that my face is not as oily as usual so maybe that is a good sign.  I'll hang in there and wait.  Thanks for your help.
