When mky wife's legs start to swell, she takes a diuretic like Lasix, prescribed by the onc. and the pulm.

I am no expert on Iressa -- you might want to check the info at www.fda.gov. I can say that my wife was on Iressa for four weeks before she got pneumonia, and in that time, she never was very strong. And it had been over a month since her chemo and radiation. Now that she is off Iressa, she is doing well. Of course, it could have been that the pneumonia coming on (which we think was due to the Iressa) kept her weak. Just info -- no conclusions for you. Don

Cheryl, sounds like you are on a good road, and I wish you the best. Don

My wife was given the choice of every week at lower dose or every third week at higher dose. We chose the latter to give her a break in each cycle, and she was able to tolerate the higher dose. I agree it depends on the chemo taken and the doctor. Don

Hi, Tam Tam, and welcome to the board. Sorry your husband and yourself have to go through all this, especially at so young an age. Do you have any friends who can help you through this emotionally, and even to help out? It is good to develop a network support system, or you both will wear out fast. Keep connected here as there is much support and info. Don

My heart is heavy at your sad news, Tanya. Your dad was quite a man, and he was so young to be taken by this disease. Thanks for letting us get to know him and you. Please stay connected so we may support you in any way we can. God's grace. Don

When you have had cancer, there is no support like the person who has been there. I'm glad he was there for you, and sorry for your loss. Don

Cindy, congrats on your son's wedding! It really is a new era for you and your husband. I had a terrific mother-in-law, and I know you will be a terrific one, too. Happy for your happy occasion. As you said, now rest. Don

Hi, Cris, and welcome. We have enjoyed having Judy and appreciate the update on her. So sorry this mass has shown up, and I pray that it is not cancer. My wife's main bone met was in C-7/T-1 of her spine. Keep plugged into our board here. Lots of support and info. Don -

I've always understood that cancer can only be determined by a biopsy. Other things may indicate cancer, but only the biopsy tells for sure. Don

Bob, welcome to the board. It is good to have company - I also am the primary caregiver to my wife. She is 11 months away from diagnosis and doing well right now, having had chemo and radiation, and is now on maintenance. There is plenty of info and support here, so hang in there, and keep us posted. Don

Hi, Becky! I did have heart bypass surgery in 1997 and my sternum was broken open and wired back, so I can appreciate what you are saying about that. I have had no trouble in that area since. Best to you. Don
