Mom just started Iressa. Too weak to try chemo. Dr. recommended Iressa instead. Has anyone taken this drug & is it helping. 2nd day on Iressa & side effects include vomiting, diarhea & fatigue. Wondering if life w/get better for her once she gets a few more doses or if this drug w/continue symptoms the entire time she is taking it. She has terminal cancer which originated in lungs so is it better to not treat w/meds & live a quality life? Please share any input you might have & experiences w/Iressa. Thanks |

hi, I just got my e-mail , and they have pulled Iressa , from use, please go to , www.cancerpage.com , this week article . They say there is not any proof that it helps lung cancer and that you should tell your onco and have him look for another treatment, , hugss Mike
