I'm so glad surgery went well for your mom. I'll say lots of prayers that Tarceva works as well for her as is does for me. Take care. Trish

Welcome, Sonja. Trish

Great news, Muriel! Trish
-
Congrats on 4 years, Debi. Quite the milestone. Enjoy all the new opportunities and challenges in your life. Trish
-
Welcome! It's always good when those doctor visits get spaced farther and farther apart. Keep us posted on how treatment is going. Trish
-
I'd definitely let the onc. know about that. Doesn't sound right. Good luck. Trish
-
So glad the Tarceva is working for your dad. It's just criminal that the drug that is obviously saving his life is not covered. I hope that changes soon. Trish

Everything above plus a razor. Trish

I never experienced any fevers from Tarceva (I take 150 mg), but I never experienced fevers from chemo, either. It does sound like your mom might do better at 100 mg. Good luck. Trish
-
That is so great!!! Congrats to Mom. Trish
-
My sincere condolences. May your dad rest in peace. Trish
-
Nice to see you post again and I'm so glad things are going well for you and your dad. Take care. Trish

I didn't have surgery, but I did have chemo/radiation and have had great results. I'll bet you will too. Good luck. Trish

I will keep Nancy in my prayers. Thanks for the update. Trish

New here, Mom in the process of diagnosis

Welcome, Mandi. So sorry to hear about your mom's diagnosis, but as others have said, there is reason for hope. You'll find many survivors here of late stage cancer (me, for one). Please come here often for strength and encouragement. Trish -
Welcome. Sorry to hear about your mom. The fact that she is otherwise in good health will help her tolerate the treatments well. Keep us posted. Trish

I'd love to, but I have a 14-year old daughter who somehow senses when I want to go online and will then have some kind of emergency that absolutely requires the internet. I've attempted Tuesday nite chat a couple of times but was kicked out almost immediately by the girl. Sigh. Trish
-
I can't help with the medical info, but I did want you to know that I'm sending extra prayers out for you. Trish

Hi Neil, I've been on Tarceva 13 months and have had no issues with nausea or change in the taste of food. I have high cholesterol issues, so I don't eat fatty foods or red meats, just lots of chicken/turkey/fish, fruits and veggies (sigh!). Hope it improves for you. Trish
-
That's wonderful, Debra. Sending good wishes that it keeps working for you. Trish

My pulmonologist presented my case to the Tumor Board, so my oncologist, rad onc and surgeon were all familiar with my history and my films before I ever met them. I met the onc and the rad onc before the surgeon because it was hoped that the chemo/rad combo would shrink the tumor and clear the lymph nodes enough to allow surgery. Unfortunately, that didn't happen; but I'm doing exceptionally well almost 2 years later. Good luck. Trish

As another survivor, Please stay, Missy. Knowledge is power, and you gained a lot of knowledge about LC throughout your mom's fight. I love that you're here to share that knowledge. Trish
