Katie, Thank you very much for this information..... Very much appreciated. Karen

Becky, That is great news. Hope you get to go to MD Anderson soon and they find that the Iressa has made the tumor disappear. Keep the faith. Praying for you everyday. God Bless and praying for a "Cure" for all of us........ Karen

I asked my oncologist about B-6 because I have nueropathy in fingers and feet. It is supposed to help with that. I didn't know B-6 was an anti-oxident. I thought it was for nerve damage. I could be wrong, someone correct me if I am wrong. Anyway, my onc. said it was OK to take B-6, B-12 and Folic Acid. Has anyone heard anything different? Thank You God Bless and praying for a "Cure" for all of us... Karen

Cheryl, Praying for you and your hubby, everyday. Please keep the faith and all will be alright. They have lots of antibiotics to get rid of whatever it is, virus or pneumonia. I just got out of the hospital, was very weak, had pneumonia. They had to try 5 different antibiotics before they could nip it in the bud. How are your hubby's blood counts? I had to have a transfusion, Hemaglobin was at 6, too low should be at least 12. This is what carries oxygen to major organs, if not high enough, it makes you really tired and lethargic. Ask the doctors. Thinking and praying for both of you. God Bless and praying for a "Cure" for all of us...... Karen

Amen - Thank You Prayers every day for all of us......... God Bless and praying for a "Cure" for all of us... Karen

Tiny, This is great news. "Congrats", you are a true survivor. Have fun and enjoy life. God Bless and praying for a "Cure" for all of us..... Karen

Ginny and Earl, I am so glad to hear that the onc has another plan for Earl. There are so many treatments out there, never give up. Keep the faith...... God hears our prayers. God Bless and praying for a "Cure" for all of us Karen

Mony, You sound like a very bright and responsible young lady. It is really nice to read your postings and concern and caring for others. You are a very mature person for your age and you will be an inspiration to others and will succeed in your future endeavors. Your parents must be very proud of you. Good luck on writing your paper for school. I am sure it will be worthy of an A+ grade. God Bless and thank you...... Karen

Cindy, Glad to hear that all went well with your surgery. Take it easy and don't over do it. Get well soon. God Bless and praying for a "Cure" for all of us..... Karen

Hi All, If you have had experience with Celebrex and what the results have been, would you please share that info. It would be greatly appreciated. I would like the experience to be for the nsc instead of the sc... I am not sure if the two different lc would have the same results. My onc said to benefit from this med, according to clinical trials yo have to take 800mg twice per day. She is willing to prescribe this to me, any suggestions? Thanks for your responses. Karen

Estrea, A huge "CONGRATS" is in order..... Thank you for all the you do for this forum. Without the dedication of all involved (Rick, Katie, Connie B., Dave G.and all others), this site may not even exist. Speaking for myself and I am sure all others on here, we are truly grateful. You are truly a survivor. God Bless and praying for a "Cure" for all of us......... Karen

Norme, Thank you for replying. I feel really good even though I had pnuemonia 3 weeks ago. Was in hospital 4 days, on antibiotics til today. Was in the right lung where tumor is located. Very last rib on the right side is sore, no pain, feels like a pulled muscle. Maybe it's from pnuemonia. Have not had any surgery, so lung still there. Has anyone expeienced this? Thanks for all of your responses. Norme, praying for your Buddy every day. We are survivors and this disease is losing it's strength. A cure is in the very near future and we will all benefit. God Bless and praying for a "Cure" for all of us...... Karen

Thank You Dave and Don, This helps alot. I had a PET done on June 29th, 2003 and it did not show any mets, only activity in the right lung. Bone scan in February showed all was ok. Can mets form in a short period of time ? This is what is frightening, you have a scan or test and a week or a month later you've developed mets. Do blood tests tell you if you have mets? Can your Onc. tell if you have mets by examining you? I really do appreciate your responses. Karen

Linda, Prayers for your dad. Praying for clean results so his surgery can proceed. God Bless and praying for a "Cure" for all of us.... Karen

What an honor to have such a special uncle. You are truly blessed. Praying for your uncle and you. Keep the faith.... God Bless and praying for a "Cure" for all of us.... Karen

Cheryl, My heart goes out to you. I just lost my little silkie terrier this past Thursday, she was 14 yrs old. I know what you are going through. Prayers for you and Jack. God Bless and praying for a "Cure" for all of us..... Karen

Tami, Thanks for asking the question, I was wondering the same thing. It has never been mentioned by my onc. What tests are needed and what if we've had these tests in the last 6 months and nothing has shown up. How often are we suppost to have these tests to make sure all is ok. Thanks everyone for your responses..... God Bless and praying for a "Cure" for all of us Karen

Ginny, Prayers for your husband and your family. Keep the faith and look at the positive side. There are so many treatments out there so don't give up hope. If you have to, get another opinion..... God Bless and praying for a "Cure" for all of us.... Karen

Hi Dean, Listen to what everyone is saying. You haven't been diagnosed and let's pray that all is well and there was an unnecessary scare. Let's wait and see what the docs say, please keep us posted. We really do care. I live in So. Cal also, Corona, not too far from each other. Please hang in there and I will include you in my prayers. God Bless and praying for a "Cure" for all of us....
