Well what a wonderful site this is. I was diagnosed with nsclc in august of 2004. Being only 39 yrs old i never thought it was going to happen, but now i have to fight with all that i have. I wasnt able to have any surgery or radiotherapy and instead had a round of chemo which kept it stable. 3 months later things had progressed so i started taking Tarceva in April of this year. It really has made a significant improvement and i find i am breathing better and feeling a lot better. The rash can be slightly annoying, but that's it. I have had a few stares from strangers while i am out, but i just look the other way. I live in Australia and i have found there is not a lot of support for me here. I have been told that because of my age and condition there arent any support groups i can attend unless i want to join a breast cancer group!! So this site is just what i've been looking for. I would be interested to hear from people who are on Tarceva and how it has worked for them.
Thanks for listening
