My 8l year old mom has been on Tarceva for 6 weeks. Just started having side effect of feeling very tired or weak, food doesn't taste good. Feels like she has sand in her mouth.
Getting depressed. Had been doing fine. Didn't get a rash, no diarrhea. Had one pimple and a cold sore on lip. Anyone have this side effect?
Is it worth continuing the Tarceva? She has had four rounds of chemo already and it didn't shrink the tumors in both lungs. So we are trying this. Until now, its been going fine.
No diarrhea, no rash. Does that mean its not helping. She has lost 3 lbs. already and at ll0
can't afford a lot more. Just had a shot of ARANESP to see if it helps energy level. Thanks.
