Thabks Monica,

I sent your post along to my brother. I can tell you that this seems to be the path all are directing him in, as in chemo to shrink tumors.

He has looked at the treatment at MD Anderson and two national trials. I do not know if one of these includes tarceva but I'll check.

Thanks for the heads up. Any help we can get at this point is a blessing.
