Tarceva approved for NHS?

[ellie]

Hi everyone,

I was diagnosed with stage 4 nsclc about 4 weeks ago. Last week we asked my oncologist about Tarceva, and he said that it had just been approved by NICE for use on the NHS, although this has not been formally announced yet. So he is planning to start me on it after the first round of chemo.

Has anyone else hear the same news?

Best,
Ellie

Hi ellie,
sorry for the delayed reply, you will of course already know the news, Tarceva has been approved. I am so very sorry that you have been diagnosed, how are you at the moment? Silly question I know...hope you are ok and have plenty of support from those around you.

((((hugs))))
