I am a near 10 year lung cancer survivor. The last 4 1/2 with stage 4 NSCLC, currently in remission. Have taken Tarceva since Sept of 2014 and had never connected the scabbing on the top of my head as being Tarceva side effect. The responses here are quite interesting. I’ve always thought it was from being old with a bald head.

Welcome to the Board! 10 years is awesome. May you enjoy many more milestones. I’m surprised no one told you to expect scalp issues but I really like your way of thinking.
Congrats on being a ten year survivor. I am over five years, last two in remission.
Congrat on your ten year survivor. I’ m a 6 11/12 yrs stage 4 metastatic NSCLC on Tarceva reduced dosage. I just changed to Tea tree shampoo & coditioer . It seems my scap is getting better.
Congratulation, Rick! That’s a lot of years with this awful disease (and a lot of years with all the side effects).
I am a 7 yrs stage 4 NSCLC . I have scalp issues too, try to use organic Tea tree shampoo . 😜
Congratulations!!!
