Hey Bucky,

Not sure if it crosses the blood brain barrier. That would definately be a question for Dr. West.

God Bless!

"Jyoung20" ...Not sure if it crosses the blood brain barrier.

Same here, I don't know. But aside from that, it's a systemic therapy.

Before you start, it would be a good idea to make sure your skin is in top condition -- moisturizing soaps, a good lotion like Cetaphil after a shower, etc. Might make the rash less bothersome.

Bucky,

I have read that Tarceva may pass the blood brain barrier. I hope Tarceva works well for you. You made me laugh about becoming a muslim. When my hair fell out after chemo I wished I were a muslim where I could cover up almost my entire body. There was a muslim woman getting chemo at the same time as I and she looked always incredibly beautiful.
