My Experience with Tarceva 100mg Tablets for Lung Cancer Treatment
I'm starting treatment with Tarceva (Erlotinib) 100mg tablets for non-small cell lung cancer. My oncologist explained that it targets the EGFR protein to slow cancer growth. I'm hoping for the best but also worried about the side effects, especially the severe ones. Has anyone else had experience with this medication?

I've been on Tarceva for a few months now. The diarrhea and rash were tough at first, but they've gotten better with time. Just stay hydrated and keep an eye on those side effects.
Hang in there! Remember, everyone's experience is different. Stay positive and keep your doctor in the loop.
Why do all the good drugs have such nasty side effects? Fingers crossed for you, though. Stay strong!
Just remember, every drug is different for everyone. Stay in close contact with your doctors and report anything unusual.
Be sure to report any severe side effects immediately. I had a friend who had a really bad reaction to it. It's better to be safe.
I wish you the best. Make sure to take really good care of your skin and drink lots of water—it can help with some of the side effects.
Just started Tarceva myself. Already feeling the fatigue, but hoping it kicks in and helps soon. Fingers crossed for both of us!
I had a bad experience with Tarceva. The rash was so severe I had to stop taking it. Hope you have a better time than I did.
