My fathers was diagnosed with NSCLC stage IV over a year ago and has been through two rounds of chemo and radiation. He tried taking Tarceva on and off for a just over a month but decided to stop it as he lost his appetite,was sick & lost a lot of weight and felt weaker than ever. He is now back doing a different therapy with less side effects. However, after reading all these positive postings written by people taking Tarceva and what it has done for them, i can't stop thinking that perhaps my dad would be better off taking it too. He just needs convincing and proof that it is more than just a pill.He is weaker than ever now and can't even stand up.- He still wants his cigarette though!!!!
If there is anyone who has been taking Tarceva and has seen "miracles" happen, could find some time to post a message for me to show my dad so he sees that he can't give up. Please help....
