Mum - second-line treatment
When I got home I did some more research and after reading several forums and other documents I came across evidence and people who have been given Erlotinib/
Tarceva
despite being EGFR negative and had very good results.

(FDA) approved the combination of Cyramza (ramucirumab) and Tarceva (erlotinib) for the first line treatment of advanced NSCLC
The FDA based their approval on the results of the clinical trial RELAY which showed that patients receiving Cyramza and
Tarceva
went longer periods of time without progression and their response to treatment lasted longer than those receiving
Tarceva
by itself.

Muga Scan
I am now on Tagrisso for my stage 4 Lung Cancer and the side effects are much better than
Tarceva
but the Dr. makes me take a Muga scan every three months to make sure the Tagrisso is not damaging my heart.. Does anyone else have to to these scans?

Remission! Then what?
At the end of September, I began my first dose of
Tarceva
at 150mg. In December that was cut to 100mg and sometime later, I was cutting the 150mg in two to take only 75mg each night. My cycling continued with lots of training rides of 30 - 50 miles and I loved it.

“Disease Flare” in lung cancer
My dad was not on Tagrisso, but if such occurs and then disease flare involves rapid leptomeningeal, they are finding
Tarceva
has helped the disease flare that Tagrisso can potentially cause, for those with EGFR.

Tarceva scalp
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.

My dad fought to the end 💔
He was moving on to his last radiation treatment and then possibly
Tarceva
next after a meeting was going on the next day about my dad. The next morning we ran to the hospital as my dads lungs failed which caused his heart to stop.

Update on my dad
Oh and he does not have EGFR detected but
Tarceva
is still being considered as second line without EGFR for the leptomeningeal and since his options for a lot of systemic treatments are not really options right now. He was found to have 2 genetic mutations - APC and TP53.

C T Scan results
At least I have four months of relative comfort to enjoy before facing the side effects of
Tarceva
or any other treatment if that is what is decided after the next scan. Wish me luck.

Tarceva side effects disappeared
I was told if I had a rash
Tarceva
was working. Having been on
Tarceva
for nearly a year the rash and most other side effects have disappeared. I'm quite apprehensive now and wonder if that is an indication that
Tarceva
has stopped working?
