  1. I have Non small cell carcinoma lung cancer going on now for over 3 years - I couldn't handle the infusion anymore so Tarceva became available to me and I started taking it in December. I am feeling much better with this drug just have a few issues with side effects. The rash on my face isn't too bad - I have antibiotic pills and gel which keeps it down pretty good, but I did start loosing my hair and was concerned but I see that is common. The hair on my face grows like crazy and it is 'kinky' it drives me crazy. my eyebrows are growing with kinky hair too - it does appear like my eyelashes are growing but I did lose some there too - I hope they grow back but I read some ones post they go every which way. Probably the worst is the dry skin. It is terrible. I have tried so many things and nothing works. I am not trying fish oil to see if that works from the inside out. Of course the diarrhea I don't think we can get away from that - I'm just annoyed I don't lose weight lol. anyway all in all I am very happy with this drug it definitely beats the infusion which I was to be on the rest of my life. I was ready to say I take my chances.
