  1. My mother bought me a small electic throw that really helped when I would get so cold during chemo. I think she got it at Wal Mart. It was just the right size to take with me to the couch or wherever I needed it. It might help. Good luck. Myrtle

    Avastin

    I have had my best response yet with Avistan/Gemzar/Cisplatin and will have two more cycles for a total of six. My onc then wants to continue with four cycles of Avastin only. Has anyone had a similar treatment regime? Has anyone had good outcomes using Avastin? Thanks, Myrtle
  3. Thanks for all your responses. I did talk to my onc this morning. He wants me to continue the tarceva and will schedule another PET at my appointment on the 10th. He seems to think at this point, the ovary is gone and last scan in April showed stable disease, so I am good for now. It sounds like I will make it to my year aniversary . Will let you know what the second line treatment will be.
  4. I was wondering if anyone has had or heard of lung cancer mets to the ovary. I have just had my ovary removed and that is the diagnosis. Both my onc and the gyn onc say it is unusual and and I cannot find much about it on the internet. Just wondering what treatment options are now. I will celebrate a year of survival July 7th and really did not need this.
  5. I also experienced tingling in my legs when I put my head down. I was sure that the cancer had spread to my spine. My onc was not concerned and the sensation went away in about three weeks. I figured it must be another side effect from the chemo because it has since disappeared and there was no sign of anything on my spine with the latest PET scan. Myrtle
