My Mom was on tarceva for three months and it didn't work at all for her. The cancer tumors have grown along with another one showing up. The doctor suggested cemo but only once a month. I asked if this was aggressive enough and she said yes. I'm not so sure. I think she thinks my mom is just worried about loosing her hair. I was wondering if we should get a second opinion. The family including myself are very confused. We will find out more when my mom gets the port put in for the cemo. I didn't get the name of the cemo but she also said something about an anti-anhibitor along with the cemo. I guess I'm just putting this out to see if anyone has experienced this or can offer any suggestions. We want her to be her for as long as possible and also with quality of life. She is very upset and confused. I think we all put a lot of faith in this drug. We had heard so much positive feedback.
Thank you and good luck with your battles.
