    Scans all clean

    This is truly wonderful news, Cindy. I am so happy for you. Love, Ada
  5. Dear S, What an incredible story. You definitely qualify as a cancer survivor. Thanks for never giving up and thanks for sharing your story with us. Ada
  6. Dear Donna, Thanks so much for posting about Connie. I wish I lived closer so that I could visit her. She is a great person, and so are you. Thinking of all of you, Ada
  7. Dear Sue, I always love to see your happy smile in your picture when you post. I know your news is depressing you, but it sounds like you've been given a good avenue to investigate with the RFA. Also, about IRESSA. Is there any way that your tumor sample could be tested to see it would respond to IRESSA? Please ask the onc about that. It sounds like you still have some good options. I am thinking of you Sue. Love, Ada
  8. Thank God Peg for this great news. Ada

    CT Scan

    Dear Cheryl, I am praying for good CT scan results for you and hope that you will be able to have surgery. Thinking of you, Ada
  10. Dear Peg, Dr. Burris, Director of Drug Develpoment at Centennial Medical Center in Nashville, is my new oncologist. Here is his information: http://www.tnoncology.com/burris.html Centennial Medical Center does many, many clinical trials. More than any private hospital in the US. I was able to get in to see him very quickly and my radiation was started very quickly. I don't know what route you want to take, but Dr. Burris struck me as an excellent problem-solver and scientist. It is at his suggestion that my tumor slide is being analyzed to see which chemo would work for me (or at least that's how I understand it.) I wish we all lived closer so that all of us could get together in times like these. I am thinking of you and Bill. Love, Ada
  11. Dear Peg and Bill, My heart feels like it is breaking for you. I am so sorry that this clinical trial didn't work. I am anxiously waiting to hear what your local oncologist says next week. Love, Ada

  15. Dear Carleen and Keith, I feel so happy for both of you. This is such great news! It brightens my day to know that all is well for Carleen and Keith. Love, Ada

    Dear Cathy, I am so very sad for you, your Mom and your family. My sympathies are with you and I will be praying for you and your Dad. Love, Ada
  17. thank you, Donna, for the update on Connie. I have been thinking of her non-stop since I heard her latest news. I am praying for her. I have a good feeling that she is going to weather this storm quite well. She is something!! Love, Ada
  18. Dear Cathy, I am thinking of you and praying for your dear Father. Ada

    As Good As It Gets

    Dear Jenny, This is just wonderful news. You've worked so hard for this. I am very, very happy for you. Love, Ada
  21. Dear Ginny, I have found that there is no such thing as "bouncing back" from all of these treatments. They take their toll, but things will improve---slowly. Thinking of you and Earl, Love, Ada
  22. Dear Luluc, The port still needs to be flushed every 28 days. This can be done at the oncologist's office. My doctors also prescribe a very low dose (1 mg per day) of Warfarin, a blood thinner. Ada
  23. Dear Shelly, I am very, very sad tonight as I am reading your post. I know this has shaken you to the core. I am so sorry about your Mother. For months Shelly you have asked God for a miracle for your Mother. Each time you wrote that, I wanted to tell you that I was always able to see God's miracle for your Mother and his miracle for her was you, dear Shelly. Love, Ada
  24. Dear Connie, I am so very sorry to hear about your Mom. I am thinking of you and praying for your family. Ada
  25. Dear Alyse, As you can see from my signature, I've also had lots of treatments. I am going to start chemo again in two weeks, a clinical trial of Taxotere and Topotecan. These are already approved by the FDA, the trial involves seeing if there is a benefit to putting the two together to treat advanced NSCLC. I think there are other options out there for your husband, but of course each of us is his/her own individual case. Good luck. I am thinking of you, Ada
