Dear friends, thanks for all notices you told me! On friday 9 my dad will be 1 month with tarceva! It seems that situation is stationary but next staging will be only on june. He didn't have large symptoms....just a little rush, a little diarrhoea and pruritus on chest....so i'm aksing myself if tarceva is working well....... This forum is great...I feel myself alone in this period and i'm fighting with my dad against this terrible disease.... Thanks to all...i've found here true friends!!

Thanks very much Randy! My doubt was if is right take tarceva now when the disease is stationary or waiting again, when and if will be a progression.............

i'm from Italy and my father has lung cancer (adenocarcinoma) since june 2007 with multiple small cerebral metastasis. He had a radioterapy cycle (all head irradiation) and 6 chemotherapy cycle (cisplatinum+vinorelbine every 21 days). At this moment, his cerebral situation is very good (just one small metastasi) and lung situation is stationary. Now his doctor has proposed him to take tarceva to inprove and fix the lung situation. My question is: is this a correct valutation?? If there will be a progression in disease, what kind of therapy we can spend again if we uses tarceva now?? Is possible chemioterapy again after tarceva?? Thanks and excuse me for my bad english.
