Guest spiritual Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Has anyone experience numbness on one side of the body (face, shoulder, arm, fingers, legs, knees, toes) from being on Tarceva? Also, where can I read the latest CT scan results from those who have been on tarceva. I have been on Tarceva since 2/17/05 and will have a CAT scan done in May to see if the Tarceva is working. I have stage IV NSLC and though I am on my 2nd year as a survivor it is a bit nerve racking since the doctors have given me a 2 year life expetancy back when I was diagnoise 2/10/04. I AM A FIGTHER and I live for one day. Thank you all for being here. GREAT SUPPORT AND INFORMATION site. I don't feel alone. Bless you all, spiritual in California Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 My husband has numbness from another chemo he was on but nothing from tarceva. Tarceva is holding him stable, he was on Iressa prior to that (see my profile) I hope the tarceva is working for you. It is working for many on the board. Let us know how your scans go.

stand4hope Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Dear Spiritual, My answer is exactly the same as Ry's in all respects. I don't recall anyone saying they have had any numbness with Tarceva. Better let your doctor know so he/she can find out what's going on. Love, Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAnn Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Hi Spiritual, I've been on Tarceva since January and have not experienced the numbness at all. I would let your doctor know what's going on. Hope your scans come back with good news in May. TAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
