Hello, I am new to this forum. I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in December 2015. Tested positive for EGFR but my oncologist started me on chemo with caboplatin and alimta. After three treatments, CT result was great but after six treatments CT show that cancer has progressed. Doctor is taking me of chemo and put me on Tarceva. I'm have not take it yet because they are in the process of getting the drug to me.
I'm not sure on how to take Tarceva. Doctor hasn't really explain or provide any information. My question is, when I get the prescription, do I just take it as directed on the bottle or do I need to consult with my doctor. I'm nervous. Any help or information would be appreciated.
