    What a wondeful trip!! It was great meeting Barry (longest avastin survivor) and Dr. Berry. They are awesome and inspiring. We had 20 interviews with radio and tv from all of the country.

    It was a great opportunity to get the word out about lung cancer!!! Very exciting!!!

    God Bless!!

    Hey Friends!!

    I am heading to Chicago for a satellite media interview for lung cancer awareness month. It's going to be picked up by 21 stations nationwide. I am very excited and a little nervous. Say a prayer that the interviews will make a positive difference.

    God Bless You!!

    Have they mentioned anything about radiation pneumonitis? I developed this after radiation... made me feel like crap and had a terrible cough to go along with it.

    Hope you find what's going on.... Tussionex always helped with my cough... I would ask your doc...

    God Bless!!

    Hi Mary,

    I have read on www.onctalk.com that tarceva is normally not used as a first line therapy following a chmo regimen. I think the docs usually wait and watch before begginning with tarceva as 2nd line. So, that's a good thing!

    God Bless and hang in there!!!

    Help. What About Diet?

    I am an organic freak....I try to buy all organics and stay away from processed foods. I have just been reading a book lately called the "Maker's diet" that is actually a biblically based diet book. Very interesting read!!

    I try to eat healthy, nutritious foods but sometimes I do slip up. But, I always try to go back to eating the best choices. Every one has a different take on whats best...but I think it should be individualized. Ex. I LOVE sweet things..however I have read that sugar is bad for you.. Whether it's true or not.. I try to eat things that make me feel good...I listen to my body. When I eat chocolate cake I feely yucky but when I eat dark chocolate I don't get the same effect.

    Alot of carbs drag me down (call them comfort foods)

    My personal opinion: Eat to Live not live to eat. Listen to your body..what is it telling you about your foods. Certainly, if you are undernourished due to treatment eat, eat and eat some more...

    You may wat to talk with the nutritionist at your clinic or your town. I have found that my nutritionist has been very helpful in keeping me focused on good eating habits. She can also give you an unbiased opinion on any diet or food books out there..

    Hope this helps!!

    God Bless!!
