Hi, i'm agilipuppy. My mom had lung cancer over a year ago, and they thought it was gone after surgery.  Now, after a ct, they found liver & pancreas spots.  She never smoked, i'm not sure how this happened. But I guess nobody really does.


I called cancer.org for info, and they told me something different about her treatment than what my mom told me. Is Tarceva a last resort or can it be like chemo?  I'm very confused about the treatment because my mom told us it could go into remission with the tarceva.
