Thank you for your experience with the drug. I need to know what others have experienced with Tarceva. I was diagnosed in July of 05 and had the lower lobe of my left lung and 2 ribs removed in Dec. I went through the chemo infusion and then after 2 1/2 they started me on Tarceva 150 mg. The dosage had to be reduced because the dehydration caused the skin to peel off my hands like a glove. Now I find that I get very dehydrated and am very tired. I would be vey glad to hear what sort effects others are having. Thank you, Vicuna.

Hi I am vicuna48 and I have lung cancer. I am taking a new oral chemo drug called Tarceva. I would like to know if anyone else is taking this and what sort of experinces they've had. It is a new drug which costs $4000 a month, I receive help from The Chronic Disease fund. I'd like to know if ther are other fund out there. If anyone has any info on either of these things I sure wish you would share it.
