My husband was diagnosed with PC last August 2004. He had all the symptoms but the doctor didn't know what it was. Stomach ache, backache,lost 35 pounds. After treating him twice for what they thought was h-pylori, they finally did a scan and found that he had a tumor about 2cm on the tail end of his pancreas. They removed 60%, plus his spleen and some lymph noodes cause it had spread to 7 of them. Then he did 7 wks of radiation and then 4 months of chemo on gemzar. This May, they discovered that it had spread to his liver and he is now doing chemo with gemzar and a new drug named tarceva. The first two weeks were very rough. He got a very bad rash on his face, neck and all around his chest and back. It is starting to go away now, this is his third week. The rash is suppose to be a good sign meaning that the medication is working. He is 52 and doing well right now. Would like to know the name of the scientist and the name of new drug or therapy. Please continue letting us all know more soon since it is a matter of urgency for all of us. Letty
