After 2 cycles of chemo with no change to 4cm tumor in lung I went on Tarceva in late Jan. The tumor was microscopic when I had a CT scan in April. A follow up CT scan in Aug shows at least 3 new tumors. I have been through the most common side effects like rash, mild diarehea, nose sores, dry skin and cracking finger tips and toes. Recently I developed a sensation of fullness in my neck area and my face has swelled causing my one eye to droop. Has anyone else experienced this symptom? I don't know if it is the Tarceva or something else going on. I haven't talked to the Doctor yet. Grammycarol Fri, 18 Nov 2005 00:00:00 GMT
