Back to work or Disability?
Currently it is manageable with the meds (
Tarceva
) but they give me many side effects and I tire easy. I have no idea what my time left here on earth is and My husband is home and disabled as well.

Anyone on Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) Immunotherapy
My first treatment was
Tarceva
, a targeted oral chemotherapy. That was working well until recently and now have switched to Pem/Keytruda, a targeted Immunotherapy . Wondering if others out there have experienced Pembrolizumab?

My Story
I had one stereotactic radiation treatment to my brain, take
Tarceva
daily and get an IV infusion of Avastin every four weeks. Oh, and did I mention prayer? I talk to God all the time.

EGFR+ taking Iressa
I started with radiation to my largest lung tumor and
Tarceva
in September 2015. I later had a one time high dose radiation treatment to my spine. My April 2016 scan showed No Evidence of Disease.

FDA approves another blood test for a mutation (T790M) in lung cancer
Earlier this year (June 2016), the FDA approved the first blood test for EGFR mutations as a companion test for erlotinib (
Tarceva
®), which is an EGFR-targeting agent.

my poor mother
the doctor prescribed
tarceva
which she did not take well to. the drug undid all of the good the radiation did and put her on worse shape. she finally passed february 25th after being in hospice for two days.

Mother has NSCLC
She has been on
Tarceva
for 215 weeks (she keeps track) and now has increased nodules showing on chest xray. She will be having a ct scan, then next week we will see her oncologist for results. I'm afraid he will say the
tarceva
is resistant now and stop it.

Levothyroxine
I thought it was from being off
Tarceva
after six years and not having anymore stomach issues. Maybe a bit put Opdivo blew out my thyroid. So started hormone replacement. Small price to pay.
