Dad went to Hospital for his monthly check-up today and he had a chest x-ray which showed that his cancer is still stable. I would have liked shrinkage but stable is great news for my Dad, considering 4 months ago he was given 2 months to live without further treatment. We are so delighted - the Tarceva is helping him to have a good quality of life, and I hope it works for a long, long time. It costs £1700 a month and he has to self-fund (it is not available thru our health system in UK )but if it helps my Dad it is worth every penny.
