  1. Hey Dana,

    I have been on Tarceva for 2 years and I spoke with a lady the other day that has a friend that has been on it since 2002. It has worked well for her and myself and I pray that it will work well for Joanie if she decides to take it. The side effects are manageable and there are things that can be done to help alleviate them. If you would like any info. on what I have done or deal with during these last two years, please let me know.

    Please tell Joanie that I am thinking of her and praying that Tarceva is her miracle drug!!!

  2. I am in total agreement with everyone... enjoy yourself and enjoy your visit... If she were in a detrimental state with her counts, I am sure the onc. would warn her or give her medicine to help with getting those counts up.

    Let us know how it turns out!!

  3. Andrea,

    Such a sweet little story. Amazingly enough my great grandmother's name was Bessie (short for Elizabeth) also. We were also very close although she passed when I was just a little girl.

    Through mentioning your grandmother, so many beautiful memories of mine came flooding back. Thank you!!!

    God Bless Bessie's and butterflies!!

  4. Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of passage? His dad takes him into the forest - blindfolded - and leaves him.

    He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not take off the blindfold until the ray of sun shines through it. He is all by himself.

    He cannot cry out for help to anyone. Once he survives the night he is a MAN.

    He cannot tell the other boys of this experience.

    Each lad must come into his own manhood. The boy was terrified. He could hear all kinds of noise. Beasts were all around him. Maybe even some human would hurt him.

    The wind blew the grass and and it shook his stump.

    But he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold.

    It was the only way he could be a man.

    Finally, after a horrific night, the sound of the night disappeared. He could feel the warmth of the sun. He removed his blindfold.

    It was then that he saw his father - sitting on the stump next to him - on watch the entire night.

    We are never alone. Even when we do not know it, our Father is protecting us. He is sitting on the stump beside us.

    All we have to do is take off our blindfolds.
