Sounds good, Deb. May the good news continue. Don

Good to hear from you, Danni, and thanks for the well wishes. What a super concept -- archiving the Good News! That's a goal well worth pursuing. I wish you well in your studies and beyond. Don

Alriiiiiiiiiiiight, Connie! No change is good change. Celebrate! Don

Sharon, so great to hear the good news of your dad. "Stable" is wonderful. Don
-
So glad to hear you finally got the Iressa and that it was covered by your insurance. Good luck. Don

Welcome to the board! "Treatable" is good, and it seems the chemo is doing its job. My wife also had upper spinal pain, pain in the hip and rib pain, all of which treated with radiation and the pain went away. Do you know what type of lung cancer you brother has? Keep us posted. Don

Hope is a good thing.

We love you, too, Andrea. Hang in there. Don

Hi, Deb! Welcome aboard. Don

Thank you, Curtis. Much appreciate your thoughts and sharing. God's blessings on you and Katie. My daughter went to Trinity also, probably about 9 years before Becky. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours. Don

Yes, if it has spread to the spine, it is Stage IV, which is advanced. My wife is Stage IV, with mets to the spine and other bones and after 17 moths is doing very well right now. Don

Yes, I believe, too, that God has a sense of humor -- and many times it is on me! He has saved me many times in incidents like you shared. I am very thankful. Don

I believe remission means no evidence of disease at this time. This means it may or may not return. Glad you two had a great time. Don

Karen, prayers comin' your way. Don -
Yes, skin rash is a common reaction to Iressa. Don
-
Great news!
-
Uh, what was that?
-
You don't have to go to Japan to find someone in the 1% who had a bad allergic reaction to Iressa, culminating in bilateral pneumonia. Lucie went through this last August and we almost lost her. It is fine to say, well 99% did not have such reaction, but if you are in the 1%, that statistic is not comforting. I am not advocating that people should not try Iressa -- it has helped many people -- but just be aware that it can have a negative effect as well. Don

Andrea, Lucie has asthma and allergies, and I continually have to remind her that those symptoms are normal for her. Even so, we always report same to the onc when we see him. I see nothing wrong with aggressive testing where lung cancer is concerned. Lucie always reports any changes, discomforts, pain, etc. and lets the onc consider that. I am always with her on those visits to be sure the communication is smooth both ways. Don

Andrea, your mpm's radiation onc is right on! Very refreshing explanation. Sounds like she is in good hands. Lucie also has a rad. onc. and a med. onc. and the med. onc. is head honcho for her case. They work well together. Don

A hearty welcome to Danni and all those who recently joined us. What a group!

Bless you, Dave and Karen.
