Hi,
My name is June. I have learned a lot from this site -- especially about Tarceva.
In August 2005 I was dz with COPD. Started o2 24/7 October '05 and during a biopsy of right lung in Nov. '05 Stage 1B lung cancer was found. Lobectomy was performed and I was told cancer had not spread to lymph nodes. As an adjuvant therapy -- I opted to undergo 4 chemo treatments after surgery -- Dr. said I'd have a better prognosis. Breathing got progressive worse during chemo. In February '06 2 wks after final chemo treatment--had bronchoscopy and was dz with Stage 4 lung cancer in both lungs. Started on Tarceva Feb 06. Was told chemo nor radiation would work for me. Will get 2nd opinion 3/3/06. Am 61 years old and live in Northern California.
