Bc, I don't like to post negative things, but my husband, definitely developed pneumonitis when he was on Alimta. He had good results as far as some shrinkage and then stability, but his breathing was progressively affected from early on. Even when he started having the pneumonitis , the pulmnologist thought it was a bacterial infection and gave him an antibiotic. His breathing was gradually worsening and then it became very bad almost over night. It was the CT scan that showed it as a ground glass pattern on the lung. High doses of prednisone are given for it , as well as using oxygen . The prednisone cleared the pneumonitis, but he was left not being able to breathe as well as he had before. I hope this isn't what is happening with you , but it is treatable and it is good to be aware that it can happen. Sure hope you get answers. Sue

Sharon, This is wonderful news. It's okay to cry "happy tears" in the delivery room . What you have to say here about "When God takes life , he gives you one to replace it" reminds me of when my grandmother passed away. It wasn't long after her death that I found out that I had gotten pregnant the same month she died . I felt as you did. I always felt my grandmother was a part of it and it gave me a lot of comfort in the months after her death. You have my prayers for a healthy grandbaby and prayers to help your mom and you along through the coming months. Love, Sue

Bunny, Will be keeping Suki in my prayers for success with Tarceva. For those that can take it , it's a wonderful drug. Praying Suki will be one of those people. Love and Prayers, Sue

Cindi, Prayers coming , lots of them. Why does it always happen on the weekend? Something needs to be done about the helplessness we feel when weekends roll around. Praying he calls you tomorrow with encouraging news. Heading over to the pub to just sit and wait with you. Actually , I'm outside the door and I think I already see Kasey sitting in there. Don't forget we are here for you Cindi. Love and Prayers, Sue

Patty, I am so very sorry for your loss of your mom and then your aunt. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. Love, Sue

Hang in there Jim. I'm a believer that things happen for the best. Keep us informed and know there are prayers coming. Sue

Kelly, What a wonderful way you handled the case with your mom. I agree that being honest and being able to talk about things together is very best way , whenever possible. You are a wonderful daughter. Your mom is blessed to have you. Love and Prayers, Sue
