Hi Andreas,

I'm so sorry your wife is having difficulty finding an appropriate dose of what I'll assume is tarceva. Unfortunately it's easy to believe tarceva is the cause of the rise in these levels and dropping the dose in hopes of lowering the blood levels it is good way to continue on tarceva. Many people are sensitive enough to tarceva to lower the dose to 50 and even 25 mg.

The following link is to tarceva's webpage on safety issues, http://www.tarceva.com/hcp/safety#

I hope this helps and I hope your wife does very well.

Janine
