    I have lung cancer that has matestased to the ribs also tumors near the spine.  I have had surgery 2 lobes of right lung removed, chemo, surgery on ribs and radiation. I started taking Tarceva on Feb. 5,2009.  The first 8 weeks it did great shrunk the tumors in my lungs. Went back and the next 8 weeks I had new tumors in my lungs.
    I had the acme like rash on face, neck and in hair.  Also had rash on my body clear down to my ankles. Why is it not working now???

      Hello Dot, I know that your comment was posted a long time ago, but I was hoping this would find you and that you are possibly doing better now. I was wondering if you could tell me if your rash decreased as it stopped working? Or did you continue to have the rash to the same degree? Also, was the rash extreme or mild? I hope you and your doctors have found a better suited treatment to your needs and I wish you well.
      Thank you,
      Kayla
