    What's this?

    trish2418 replied to TracyD's topic in GENERAL

    Hi Tracy, My last PET scan showed "bullous emphysema" of my left (good) lung. My pulmonologist described it (if I remember correctly) as my left lung compensating for the loss of function (caused by the tumor and radiation) in my right lung by hyper-inflating. My lung function is quite good so I'm not super concerned. I walk about 10,000 steps a day so that may be why my pulmonologist isn't that concerned about it either. Good luck. Trish

    I'm always convinced that each scan will bring bad news. Luckily, that hasn't been the case but somehow I can't escape the pre-scan jitters. I'll be praying for good results for your mom. Hang in there. Trish

    Hi Candy, I'm sorry your mom is having such a rough time right now; hopefully, the rest from chemo will do her the world of good. You asked about Taxotere and Alimta and I just wanted to let you know that Dr. West has a post regarding those 2 drugs on his site onctalk.com. Personally, I had quite a few doses of Taxotere. It gets rougher to handle with each dose, but in my case it really knocked the life out of my tumor. Good luck to you and your mom. Trish

    Hang in there, Frank. I'm sending lots of love and prayers your way. Hope the pain get managed soon. Take care. Trish

    Way too slow. I went to the ER, was admitted, and had a PET, CT, broncoscopy, MRI, PFT and port installed in 4 days. Good luck to you. Trish

    Hi Jennifer, I'm sorry your mom's reports weren't better. I've been taking Tarceva for 9 months and have had great success with it. Common side effects are a severe rash at about 2-3 weeks after starting the pill and diarrhea. I had the rash (controlled by Minocycline and Clindamycin) but not the diarrhea, thankfully. I hope treatment goes well for your mom. Take care. Trish

    Oh my God, Grace; I'm reading your post at work and the tears are just running down my face. I'm praying that the docs can get to the bottom of what's going on and successfully treat it. Quickly. You, Carlton, and the girls remain in my prayers. Stay strong. Trish

    CT News is Good

    trish2418 replied to patscan's topic in HOPE

    Hi Pat, Glad to hear that your mom is responding so well to treatment. I had a reaction to carbo on my 6th or 7th round. Not a big deal -- discontinued the carbo, had lots of IV benadryl and was "better" very quickly. Remember, though, that most patients do not ever have a reaction to carbo. I continued chemo after that with Taxotere only, no platinum based chemo, and had great results. I'm praying for the same for your mom. Take care. Trish
