My 93-yr-old grandmother is soon to start Tarceva. I have
appreciated this message board so much because it's the only
place we've been able to get any real information. She is using
the postings to have a meaningful discussion with her doctor
next week.
She's down to 80 lbs and has real misgivings about starting
Tarceva due to the associated diarrhea. But the consensus is
that she might as well try it. She can always stop.
Several postings have mentioned reducing the dose from 150
mg to 100 mg or 50 mg, so she's wondering how the dose is
reduced.
Her question is: what form does Tarceva come in? Pills?
Liquid?
