My very close relative had pancreatic cancer and actually survived much longer than he was told by the doc. A primary course of treatment was Tarceva coupled with other drugs. Out of all the terrible side effects that he experienced, a severe face rash was his most troublesome, along with very dry skin. I was very close to him and saw him go through all types of skincare products--prescribed and right off the shelf (heck, I spent at least $150 on all sorts of stuff). Nothing worked well. Some of the stuff moisturized, but it stung when applied or was so thick like auto grease. In the hospital one day he was using these little tubes that the nurse gave him of something called Lindi (I wrote the name down). Now, I have someone with lung cancer and the face rash is happening to them. Does anyone have experience with Lindi products for lung cancer and if it works, where do I find it?

Hi Sabra - this seems to be their website. There is a section specifically relating to chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
