Erlotinib "I have pancreatic head cancer since July 2016, was stage 4, so a palliative bypass was done, then put on chemo several times. Three months back, my CT showed progression for the first time rather than regression, so my doctor put me on Tarceva 100 mg. Unfortunately, I felt more weakness, anorexia, skin rash, nausea, belching, plus much increase in pains in my tummy and back. I don't know what to say...?!"
