The appointment in the LOC clinic went as well as can be. The oncologist reviewed the new and the old X-Rays and noticed a reduction in fluid. However, this did not prove conclusively that the Tarceva has had any affect.
The overall view was that if my father was feeling better, his night sweats had reduced, the tumor had not increased in volume and the fact that my father had experienced quite a bad rash on his face and head, the Tarceva has had a positive affect. That said, the LOC oncologist reiterated our local oncologist’s view that a CT scan will give us a more conclusive answer.
In the interim, the LOC oncologist had prescribed another month of Tarceva. It is better to be receiving a treatment than nothing at all. At least while we wait for the CT scan on the 29th of November.
