lisacurtin Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 My Dad started on Tarceva today. They gave him nausea medicine also in case he needed it. Wondering how people felt while taking it. He has been paying out of pocket for Iresa as the VA would not approve it because it has been getting a bad wrap lately. The VA will pay for his Tarceva and his oncol thinks this is better now for him anyway. We can only hope. Thanks in advance, hope everyone is enjoying their summer.

Justakid Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I felt fine on Tarceva just BAD BAD BAD skin reactions. I look like an alien and diseased. Keep plenty of lotion on hand and keep him "gooped" up! Hope it works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAnn Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Lisa, I've been on Tarceva since January 05 and have been kept stable, so far. Had new scans today and will find out results this Wednesday, hoping I'm still stable. I hope your dad has good response. TAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
