    Tarceva and oils

    in GENERAL

    Posted

    Hey everyone--Here's the scoop:

    Last month I went to a motorcycle rally and my face ended up looking like "the creature from the black lagoon" because of Tarceva. Anyway, I have had an ongoing rash since the start of the treatment (over 1 year) and have spents hundreds of dollars in trying to find skin care products that work in controlling my severe dry skin and rash complications. During the rally,I visited an aesthetician at a spa there and she was well versed in homeopathic skincare. She recommended essential oils and did a test on me that left me dumbfounded. At the time, I was using aquaphor(petrolatum) and was only covering up the face and skin mess and not healing. For the last month and a half I have used only essential oils and a product from aveda called all sensitive body formula. Here is a list of what I have tried that have not worked on my skin:

    Aveda -sensitive skin exfoliator

    Andrew Weil -Plantidore Mega Mushroom Face Cream

    Gentle Naturals--Baby Eczema Cream

    Eucerin-Calming Cream

    Eucerin-Aquaphor

    Palmer's- Olive Oil Body Butter (better than most)

    Avon-Moisture 24

    Bigelow-Incredibly moisturizing face cream restorative formula

    Bliss-lemon sage body butter

    Jergens-natural glow

    aphrodite-olive oil and chamomile lotion

    Kiss My face- Moisturizer for extra dry skin

    Spa-botanical body lotion

    Oil of olay- Smooth skin exfoliating scrub

    Origins-swept away

    Suave-moisturizing body lotion

    Mimyx-(recommended by dermatologist)

    Head and Shoulders prescription (recommended by dermatologist) burnt my face really bad.

    Ther dermatologist said that I had the same yeast that causes dandruff on my face.

    Have helped:

    Aveda--All sensitive (worked best)

    Aubrey Organics--White Camellia Oil(worked best)

    Jason-Essential exotic oils

    Aubrey organics--vegecol collection

    Aubrey organics--facial scrub

    So far, this is what has worked and this is the first time I have gone this long without a breakout. My face feels great and it has also helped with the radiation dermatitus on my back. What I have found through significant research is that many, many of the over the counter and prescription products contain alchohol (preservative) and petroleum (will burn tires) and have not been good for my skin. I know the organic products are not as cost effective but I sure do feel better about using them on my body.

    I was wondering if any of you on Tarceva have found any all natural products that have worked?

    I was also thinking if we could get a list together, maybe we could contact those companies and start bringing in some funds for lung cancer. I was at the grocery store yesterday and saw a toothbrush you could buy and a percentage of the funds to breast cancer.

    What do you think? I'm willing to write a letter and voice my opinion but I do know there are strength in numbers. Anybody want to join in?

    GOD BLESS!!
