NCSLC with brain mets drugs
., she said that there are few drugs penetrating to the cerebrospinal fluid and brain; capecitabin,temozolamid and for targeted agent gefitinib(
iressa
) and trastuzumab. Looks like some of these drugs are not for lung cancer or they are for patients with EGFR mutation positive and my dad is not.

Lung cancer stage 4
He has been on a drug called
Iressa
for 5 weeks which he has to take 1 a day. Has anybody else taken this and what was the outcome. Did it reduce the tumour at all.

Flying with Iressa and lung cancer will
Hi all, I was lucky to have the mutation for
Iressa
and have been on it for nearly 6 months. The scan in Jan showed shrinkage and s/e bearable. I’m 72 and I’ve just booked a flight from New Zealand to Cape Town - 27 or more hours which is terribly long.

Are you receiving or have you received immunotherapy for non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the last 12 months?
Please note: Tarceva, Giotrif and
Iressa
are considered targeted therapies; NSCLC patients who have had targeted therapy but have not yet had immunotherapy will not meet inclusion criteria for this study."

Good News Using Iressa
My friend was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer in December 2016 and started
Iressa
in January 2017. She was put on
Iressa
after biopsy showed a gene mutation. At the 60 day mark we went in for update scan which showed main tumor in lung decreased in size by almost half.

I am currently taking
Iressa
