Connie B Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 Dear ChrisSanJose, Iressa has just been FDA approved here in the States. Unlike Chemo, Iressa from my understanding is in a pill form. Like any major drug it has it's major side effects. Talk to your mom's Onc Doc. It's ready for use. You will also find some subjects on this board about Iressa. Check out the different forums. I am sure you should find something. Good luck, Warm and Gentle Hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdaW Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 Chris, Here is a good place to start your research on IRESSA: http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/infopage/i ... ssaQ&A.htm Ada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SusanIs99 Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Iressa has caused some problems in Japan- mortality of patients involved in the trial- but surely the risk not as great as the risk from the Ca itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
