    Hi ! My husband is on erlotinib (common name Tarceva) in his case it is given the tablet once a day. He is doing pretty well on it. He also gets gemzar by infusion once a week. The worst side effect he is getting that is a result of the Tarceva is a rash. Not anything to difficult to deal with, mostly face and scalp. The doc gave him some acne type meds for his face and he uses a shampoo called T-gel that helps his scalp.
    My husband is on his second round of gemzar after a two-week break, but he stayed on the tarceva through the break. So far he has had no tumor growth!
    I hope this info helps you.

    Thank you for the information. I hope that your husband’s are both doing well. I find it hard to live life a day at a time, but this is what this disease has forced us to do. I wish I could beleive it gets easier, but everything I read tells me different. I wish you both the best.
