It is a phase II trail, a treatment in which the patient receives a combination of Tarceva (Erlotnib) combined with Sorafenib (Nexavar).Last week she had her first check-up and....It has worked!--> The growth had shrunk from 14cmx9cm to 2cm diameter and the priliminary tumor is now hollow. The pleura fluid in her lung is also gone.She does experience the side-effects of the medicine and is very curious if other people experience the same and how they cope...Does anybody have any experience with the combination treatment of Tarceva (Erlotnib) combined with Sorafenib (Nexavar)?
