Patricia,
Each one of us responds differently to treatment. I had Carboplatin and Taxol along with Tarceva 100mg. My chemo cycle was once a week for three weeks then one week off. The Tarceva I took every day and still do. I had stage lllb or IV lung cancer depending on which doctor. I was told that it was inoperable and that they could not use radiation. I have been cancer free since November 2005 my story is posted on the Lance Armstrong web site. I will be glad to share with you any information that you like.
