I wish I had a nickel for every time I heard 'You should eat more!' Well, I'm trying, but the nausea and diarrhea make it tough. Hang in there, everyone! You can do it.
I didn't experience any major side effects, but I did have some mild stomach issues. Just be aware of what you eat and drink while on this medication.
This drug is so expensive, but I'm lucky to have good insurance. The cost can be a huge burden for some, if you need help just ask you oncologist they have access to resources
I had to stop taking it due to severe rash. It was brutal. My oncologist switched me to something else.
I've been on Tarceva for 6 months and haven't experienced any major side effects. Just some mild skin changes and decreased appetite. It's been a positive experience so far, but I know everyone is different. If you are starting, just take it one day at a time.
I was on Tarceva and had to stop due to Stevens-Johnson syndrome. It was intense, but I'm doing better now. Be aware of the serious side effects, folks.
I'm curious, how long did it take for you to see any results? I've only been on it for a week and I'm already feeling some fatigue.
