    Gemzar

    I was on Carboplatin/Gemzar from Nov. 2003 until July 2004 and and then they told me I was in remission. They have kept me on Iressa since August 2004. Last month PET scan showed a increase in activity but when did the Bone scan; that was negative. So who knows. Still on Iressa. Sometimes bloodcount dropped and had to miss treatment. Hair thinned some and after treatment, felt awful for a few days; as well as I can remember.Couldn't eat very well but had a craving for boiled potatoes with butter on them. Believe I had diahrea also but can't complain since it put me in Remission. marion

    Peter Jennings

    Is there anyone out there that knows what was the type of lung cancer, stage, etc. that Peter Jennings had. Also, did he have any treatment? I haven't been able to find anything about this. Last nite on CNN; they had a program about "Taming the Beast." It was filmed at the hospital in Houston. marion

    Cathy R has passed

    She has been on my mind so much. She is at Peace now with the angels and Peace and Prayers to all of you, her wonderful family. Marion
  5. I forgot to tell you that I have been taking the pill, Iressa since August of 2004. It seems to be doing the trick. Marion
  6. I just saw your letter today and thought I would write. As you can see from my history that I am state IV NSCLC but I am older than your spouse. As far as I know I am still in remission. I will go in tomorrow for my monthly check up and probably a PET scan. I am sorry your doctor wasn't more sensitive to you and your husband's situation. My doctors have been rather good for the most part. I am not the go getter I used to be and have lost weight; but still going but at a slower pace. I would have to be doing that anyway at my age. Take care and God Bless you and your family. marion

    Cathyr ????

    Yeah, Cathy. Been thinking about you a lot. Hope things are going along fine. Prayers for you and yours. marion
  8. Thank you so much for your information on these other organizations. As soon as my daughter gets over her wood tick bite; I will push to get her started on this. Thanks again. marion
  9. I showed my daughter the above thread for she had a team for the Relay for Life this year. She asked me to get information on the WALC LCA Lungevity Cancer Care and Joanies Cause and she would check into it. Would anybody out there help me out on this. Really appreciate it. marion
  10. No shame in having weepy days or bad days. I am sure all of us do but don't mention it until someone else brings up there blues. Then all the secrets come out of the woodwork. I go thru spells of being up and then down and never sure how I will be feeling each day until it arrives. You are just starting on your treatment, so of course you are uptight. You'll do alright and soon get in the swing of things. Take care and God Bless. marion
  11. Mom's are mighty special people. Even as old as I am; I still miss mine very much. Infact, she had her stroke on the Friday before Mother's Day. so HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all of you and us and the ones that came before and will come in the future. Marion
  12. I took Carboplatin and Gemzar at the same time and they worked for me. Now I did feel bad but it got me to the point where they put me on Iressa, which I have been on since August 2004. God Bless and help with your decision. love ya. Marion
  13. I am so glad that you have had a good week. I have been thinking and saying prayers for you and the others also. Take care and God Bless. love ya. marion
  14. Just got back from the Relay for Life get together in Altavista, Va. Last year I went but started feeling bad before the Survivor's Walk and had to leave. This year was much better. It was certainly a overpowering feeling to walk toward the group and going around the track with the people cheering you on. Tears were on many faces, including my own. I have never done anything like this before and it certainly was an experience I will never forget. To see my cousin and her husband making the walk (both with cancer). She had been told this week that hers had spread to several places. To see the little ones that are going thru this really can break one's heart. But all in all I had an enjoyable time plus they had delicious free food for the Survivors after the lap. Can't beat that. All take care. Marion
  15. I don't know what to say but God Bless You and we will all be praying for you. Love you. Marion
