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,

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

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

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.

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,

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.

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

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
