Julie,
 
Good to hear from you.  I am feeling great actually.  I've been on oral chemo for 1.5 weeks now and expecting good results.
 
Glad you were able to get in to some alternative therapies so quickly while you wait.  Waiting is absolutely the most frustrating part, especially when you feel/know time isn't on your side. 
 
I am very interested in your alternative treatments and would like to hear more about what they are and outcomes.  Keep me posted.
 
Praying for you...
Marc

Julie,
 
Any news on the timing of the start of your treatment?
 
Stay the course.

Ruthie. As a newly diagnosed stage 4 just starting the process I find you inspirational. Love your spirit. Praying for you today.

Tom, you are a blessing to me. I am a rational, intellectual type and this information is exactly what I needed today. I am waiting for approval on my erlotinib but not standing still. I am using my waiting time to do a bunch of alternative immune-building therapies to hopefully work in conjunction with the erlotinib. I have read Gould but didn't know his story on this; I love it. I have read Gould as an amateur Christian apologist learning the "other" side. God has given much wisdom to many. The thing perhaps that makes me smile is Gould's inability to define that strong willed spirit. As a Christian I am blessed to define it easily as the action of Holy Spirit, God's image or "soul" in me. I took enough statistics classes to know what Gould defined but needed to be reminded; I am blessed to understand the spiritual he cannot define. I will be sharing this video.
Thank you, Tom, for blessing me today. I am asking God's greatest blessings to you this day as you bless all of us.

Hello, I am a 47 year old mom to 3 teenagers and was just diagnosed with stage 4 adenocarcinoma lung cancer that has metastasized to my liver. I have a golf ball size lesion in my right upper lung lobe, pls one 6x6x4 cm lesion on top of my liver pushing up against my diaphragm, pls three smaller liver lesions. I tested positive for the EJFR mutation & my doctor has started the process of approving me for Erlotinib. My family & I are scared, as I keep seeing the 15% 5 year survival number. Any help & encouragement out there? Any experience with that drug & the longevity of its effectiveness?
