Thanks, Christy.

Kathy, Tim is one lucky guy -- he has you, his family and a terrific onc. I'd say that's pretty good in this life. Blessings to you both. Don

As hard as it can be on the family, the ultimate decider on treatment is the patient. Think about it -- you would want that power for yourself if it were you. It doesn't mean you shouldn't bring info to your mom that might persuade her otherwise. Best to you. Don

Peggy, sorry for all you have had to face this year. We can relate. Let's all hang in there together. Blessings. Don

We were told that radiation is used when (1) the site is causing severe pain to the patient and/or (2) when the tumor endangers the integrity of the site (such as bone fracture). Lucie had radiation on two sites for both reasons, one site for pain and another for integrity of the bone. Don

Shirley, I posted in response elsewhere, but just wanted to say again, my heart is heavy for you and pray you strength and support and love in the grieving and beyond. Don

Heather, I can see the grin on your face a mile wide! Great news! Celebrate! We need good news on the board today. Don

Chococat, what wonderful news of your mom! Go, mom! We needed this good news in the face of so much bad news today on the board. Blessings. Don

Morphine can definitely cause a fog. You may have to experiment on the dosage level -- enough to cover the pain, but not enough to cause the fog. I had to do that with Lucie. Blessings. Don

Hello again, Joan! Having posted to you in the Newcomers part. My wife takes Iressa and has been on it for over two weeks now. It is primarily used for NSCLC as a maintenance treatment after chemo and radiation have been used. Some it works on, and some it doesn't. Main side effects are diarrhea and skin rash. My wife has had both, but mild case in both instances. Don

Hi, Joan, and welcome to the board and the family here. My wife is Stage IV NSCLC, with bone mets, and has never smoked. She is in her 10th month of survivorship and going strong. Take heart! Don

That isn't small potatoes news -- that is great news! Thanks for sharing, and may the good news keep rolling in. Don

Glad to see you smiley face back on, Rick. Don

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I hope it is pneumonia. We know they can clear that up. Don
