I have read all previous messages & thank you all for the good information and detailed descriptions. Details are good & we often don't get them from our Dr.
Tarceva has been suggested as a possibility for my wife but has not been prescribed yet. Her lung cancer has met. to her brain.
Have you heard of the "blood / brain barrior"? We have been told that some chemo. therapies will not pass the blood / brain barrior & will therefore do no good for the brain tumor.
Does anyone know if Tarceva will pass the barrior? Our Dr.'s reply to this question was vague and amounted to "I'm not sure if it will or not." , which I figured was her way of saying that it will not.
Thanks for whatever info. you may have.
