Hello everyone.....i got results back from ct scans and it seems like all tumors are shrinking and getting smaller. I am so excited. I go back in 4 weeks to be checked again. I have stage 4 nsclc. It seems like the tarceva is working for me very well. The rash is still here and has gone to the loiwer part of body........but as long as tumors are getting smaller i can deal with the rash and thinning hair.................good luck to everyone
Have been on Tarceva since August 2006 with the disease(Stage 4) held in check. Myt specific cellular type is bronchiolaralveolar which apparantly is one with a higher response. You might check this with your oncologist. My diarrhea is fairly well controlled with imodium. My skhin itchy with obvious drying and with multiple fissuring of the skin of fingers and palms. The latter especially noted with the cold weather. My fingernails grow very slowly and split/break readily
