    My husband has started erlotinib two weeks ago (diagnosis = NSCLC advanced stage, spread to lymph nodes, vertebra and two ribs + small tumour in brain). Whilst the cough has more or less disappeared, he has a rash on his whole head. He is also getting very tired and has acquired a bitter taste for many foods, which is making eating less palatable. Has anyone else experienced the change of taste? Is anyone on erlotinib…
