I have stage 4 CA but my primary CA in the lung was removed, as well as a brain tumor in the temporal lobe that was mets. This was done in 1/07. I then had radiation to my head and have been taking Tarceva since 5/07. I seem to tolerate the Tarceva fairly well - it mostly makes me tired, even since I tried taking it at night instead of the morning. It does cause GERD so I have to watch my diet. I went through months of a mild rash followed by extremely dry flaky skin that seemed to by cyclic, but that has thankfully subsided. My problem is hair regrowth. The radiation was done over a year ago - I had 4 weeks of tx to my head only. My hair has grown back everywhere but the top of my head - picture Bozo the clown, and that is what I look like (only with brown hair). Taking the Tarceva may be contributing to my problem, but my doctor won't let me stop it; she did allow me to change the schedule to ev. other day Tarceva to encourage growth, but there is very little difference after 5 wks. I live in Florida and wearing a wig every day for over a year has really gotten me down. I know I am lucky to be alive, and thankful I haven't had any problems so far. But I would really like my hair back! Has anyone else experienced this? And if so, how long before you finally got all the hair back.
