Subject: Tarceva and Side Effects

Hi everyone, I have been on Tarceva since Feb. and had stage 4 nscl in both lungs. I had a CT scan in June and again in Aug that confirms the tumors in my lungs are no longer visible! The radiologist even questioned the oncologist as to whether the cancer diagnosis was right. Unfortunately 2 different treatment centers have read the biopsy slides and it is cancer. My oncologist is "cautiously optimistic", my husband and I are elated. I know it is a maintenence drug and the cancer could come back at any time. My question is, has anyone else had these results? The other patients my oncologist has on Tarceva have only kept their tumors from growing. I am still taking it and it has run through ALL the side effects. The face rash is under control, I had water blisters appear on my toes, I still get diahrea several times a week, and the newest thing is sores on my head. They are crusty oozing bumps in my hair. Anyone have any remedy for this? They don't hurt, but do itch.
