Shar

I've been thinking of you guys. Hoping the Christmas period is a happy one for you both. Sharon

Well even in the stinking hot weather we have the hot meal of turkey, ham, roast potatoes, carrots, etc. We also have prawns, but I HATE them!!!

Cheryl I am so sorry to hear this news. Glad you find comfort here and I will be sending all positive thoughts your way. Thnking of you, Sharon

Hi Chris, I have been taking Tarceva since April of this year with great success. I have had a severe rash through most of that time, only now is it subsiding. I have had the rash all over my body. The worst of it now is on my scalp and I am having trouble with wearing shoes because of a very sore toe. All related to Tarceva so my onc tells me. My skin is dry and my hair, well that's just something else!!! LOL!! I also have the rash on my tongue, it just means I stay away from vinegar and salad dressings etc. Hope this helps and all the best to you, Sharon

Glad it all went well for you Leslie. Keep in touch and let me know how you're doing. You sound really positive which is what I like to hear!!!!! All the best, Sharon

I'm so sorry Jen to hear of your mother's passing. Glad she was free of pain. Warm hugs, Sharon

Amie I am so relieved to hear your news. Try to enjoy your weekend. Sharon

Amie I am thinking of you both. I hope it all goes well and you at least got some well deserved rest. All positive thoughts go your way, Sharon

Fay, I admire your resilience & bravery. What a tough cookie you are. I have you in my thoughts and am hoping for good results. Sharon

That is fantastic news Melinda!!! I'm so happy for you. What a wonderful result.

Thinking of Beth & Bill, so sorry to hear this.

I'm in my 9th month of Tarceva and I haven't experienced any achiness. Everybody is different though. Good luck with it hope it all goes well, Sharon

%@ Leslie, bugger it!!!!! I never expected this news and am totally shocked. I just don't know what to say. You are the most positive woman and I know that is going to help you through this. Explore all of your options and fight, fight, fight!!! You can do this. I will help you anyway I know how. If you need to speak to anyone PM me and I shall call you. I have a phonecard here and it doesn't cost much to call. You are in my thoughts Leslie, Sharon

You have every right to have a whinge!!!!! Hope you start to feel better soon, I feel for you. Sharon

Hey everyone, Isn't it weird that the smallest things can give you a lift??? On Friday night I took my 11 yr old daughter to see Hilary Duff. Now, I am a Nirvana girl, so Hilary was never on my wishlist to see live!!!!! Just to see the happiness on my daughter's face was enough to make me forget everything else. I get my results from my scan on Wed and I didn't really give it a thought all weekend. I also have a family court hearing in one week, even that was ignored!!! Never thought that Hilary would offer such an outlet!!! Thanks girl & even though I HATE to admit it, I am still humming those tunes!!! LOL!!! Sharon

That is wonderful news!!!!!

Fantastic news Maryanne!!!!!! I am so happy for you and Joel. Well done, Sharon

Pat, Just wanted to let you know I so admire your strength in coping with all of this. You are doing a fantastic job, inspiring. Love the fact you are going to live like you are going to live. Will be thinking of you both, Sharon x

Hey all, Not sure if this has been discussed on here previously, but I read in my local paper over here that Australian researchers have developed a drug to cure aggressive cancers. The drug is called Tirapazamine and has been used in clinical trials for advanced head and neck cancer. They are saying there is hope it could be used to treat lung cancer. The exciting thing is that it is curing patients not just treating them!!!!! It is administered by injection, sounds too easy!!! Apparently they are making it available next year. Just thought I would pass this on, Sharon

It all sounds good to me, lucky I am in Oz and can't hear the singing!!!!! Great news though!!! Sharon

Hey Cindi, Good thing you did as you were told hey???? Hope you feel better soon, I think you have put up with enough for now!!! Warm hugs, Sharon

Sue, Will be sending all positive thoughts your way. Sorry Mike is having such a tough time. Hopefully it all gets better from now on. Thinking of you, Sharon

Great news Jamie!!!! Congratulations and all the best . Sharon
