I am now a stay at home mom and loving it. I spend my days with my little boy,volunteering at my cancer clinic and providing students with instrumental private lessons based on their need (free of charge). I have less stress in my life now than I have ever had. I also help my husband at his school and we dabble in the stock market.

Jenn, So sorry all of you are having to go through this!!! Never give up! We are here for you and your sister. GOD BLESS! Jamie

I always get a little un-nerved around scan time but I am very happy to report no change except for a cyst on an ovary. The onc. said that would probably be gone by the next scan. YIPPEEE!!! Hey Cindi'----open the pub-- it's time for a shot of your strongest. GOD BLESS! Jamie

Too funny

"only after sex"----hehe just kidding

Carleen, I am so so sorry for the pain you two are going through. I am in tears after reading your post. You and Keith mean so much to all of us. Know that we are ther with you through all of this. GOD BLESS!! Jamie

Hey everyone--Here's the scoop: Last month I went to a motorcycle rally and my face ended up looking like "the creature from the black lagoon" because of Tarceva. Anyway, I have had an ongoing rash since the start of the treatment (over 1 year) and have spents hundreds of dollars in trying to find skin care products that work in controlling my severe dry skin and rash complications. During the rally,I visited an aesthetician at a spa there and she was well versed in homeopathic skincare. She recommended essential oils and did a test on me that left me dumbfounded. At the time, I was using aquaphor(petrolatum) and was only covering up the face and skin mess and not healing. For the last month and a half I have used only essential oils and a product from aveda called all sensitive body formula. Here is a list of what I have tried that have not worked on my skin: Aveda -sensitive skin exfoliator Andrew Weil -Plantidore Mega Mushroom Face Cream Gentle Naturals--Baby Eczema Cream Eucerin-Calming Cream Eucerin-Aquaphor Palmer's- Olive Oil Body Butter (better than most) Avon-Moisture 24 Bigelow-Incredibly moisturizing face cream restorative formula Bliss-lemon sage body butter Jergens-natural glow aphrodite-olive oil and chamomile lotion Kiss My face- Moisturizer for extra dry skin Spa-botanical body lotion Oil of olay- Smooth skin exfoliating scrub Origins-swept away Suave-moisturizing body lotion Mimyx-(recommended by dermatologist) Head and Shoulders prescription (recommended by dermatologist) burnt my face really bad. Ther dermatologist said that I had the same yeast that causes dandruff on my face. Have helped: Aveda--All sensitive (worked best) Aubrey Organics--White Camellia Oil(worked best) Jason-Essential exotic oils Aubrey organics--vegecol collection Aubrey organics--facial scrub So far, this is what has worked and this is the first time I have gone this long without a breakout. My face feels great and it has also helped with the radiation dermatitus on my back. What I have found through significant research is that many, many of the over the counter and prescription products contain alchohol (preservative) and petroleum (will burn tires) and have not been good for my skin. I know the organic products are not as cost effective but I sure do feel better about using them on my body. I was wondering if any of you on Tarceva have found any all natural products that have worked? I was also thinking if we could get a list together, maybe we could contact those companies and start bringing in some funds for lung cancer. I was at the grocery store yesterday and saw a toothbrush you could buy and a percentage of the funds to breast cancer. What do you think? I'm willing to write a letter and voice my opinion but I do know there are strength in numbers. Anybody want to join in? GOD BLESS!! Jamie
