Has anyone take erlotinib (Tarceva) for Pancreatic Cancer?

Hi, did anyone had Tarceva as a targeted therapy for PanCan? I have unoperable adenocarcinoma st IV, went through 8 or 9 rounds of Folfrinox and now I am on Gemcitabine, with CA19-9 numbers going up - slowly but surely.
I read up on Tarceva's side effect and they sound terrible. Did everyone on Tarceva experience that?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Pancreatic Cancer Support Group.

Forgot to add that my oncologist is planning to switch me to Tarceva.

@masha123, have you started erlotinib (Tarceva) yet? How is it going?

No, I did not, not yet, and I am not looking forward to it:)
