Hi Giddyuppp59,
I too had tumors in both lungs. I had a right lobectomy on 6/22/15, was in the hospital with a drain for 4 days, released with pain meds - very manageable. Returned to work the 2nd week in July. I had chemo in July and August - 3 rounds, then a CT scan in Sept and then a left wedge resection on 10/19/15. This time in the hospital for 9 days, some complications & pneumonia. Pain again very manageable. Once I finished the pain med, was put on OTC pain meds, used them for 2 days then stopped. Went back to work on 11/17/15. I do not feel any different than I did before the surgery, except for minor shortness of breath, when I first wake up. Good luck to you on 2/4/16, I'll be thinking of you and hope all goes well!

Tarceva and Xalkori

I was only on Tarceva for 16 days and experienced an acute rash on my face, neck and upper chest. I started taking it every 3rd day, but was told to stop it all together by the oncologist as the rash just kept getting worse. I don't know about the other drug. My insurance did cover the cost of a 30 day supply ($7126.00) no out of pocket to me.
