What a beautiful time in history we are living in. Tarceva didn't even become an approved treatment until two and a half years ago. Last July another drug similar to Tarceva that may be even more effective (afatinib) was approved.

Thanks to Craig http://craigblower.wordpress.com/ for sharing even more hope for the future of treatment with Tarceva! For most people the cancer eventually finds a way to build resistance to Tarceva, but some angels disguised as medical researchers have found a counter-punch. See http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2014/apr/20/cancer-velcade-cheresh-seguin-ucsd/ for the good news.
After decades of no change in survival rates, now it's hard to keep up with all the really positive news that is coming out of cancer research.
What a great problem to have!
