He tried platinum and an experimental drug to no avail. He is now going to a hospice, and his oncologist is recommending Tarceva as he cannot take any other chemos because he is too weak. Does anyone have any experience with this drug in stage 4? I know everyone reacts differently, but some ideas might help at least. Thanks everyone.

Good luck and god bless, Nancy C. Nanlynn Mon, 02 May 2005 00:00:00 GMT Thanks, Nancy. My father has already lost a lot of weight, we will have to see if he can physically take the medication. But thank you again. - David Daved109 Mon, 02 May 2005 00:00:00 GMT
