I was scheduled to have my last dose of Cisplatin and Pemetrexed chemo next week.
The side effects of extreme fatigue were just an inconvenience for me, but my oncologist felt that it was reason enough to switch now to the targeted chemo based on my DNA mutation of EGFR.
The new chemo drug is Erlotinib (Tarceva) and will be taken in pill form. It will have less side effects and is shown to be very effective in people who have the same DNA mutation as me.
I am very hopeful that, God willing, it will do the job.
