Don, I am so very happy for you. You make sure they keep following you up and insist on ct scans on a regular basis. Mike's recurrence got overlooked when they went to just xrays.. It didn't show. I would say especially if you are not feeling well, insist on a ct... Just a word of advice...Again, I am so very happy for you. Love, sue

Wonderful news Gail. God Bless you. Love, Sue

I miss Beth too. We love you Beth.. Hope you will feel like posting soon. In the meantime, I'm sending prayers your way. Love, Sue

What I have to say won't help you. I have no advice for you. I just need to tell you that you are in my prayers. God Bless you both... Love and Prayers, Sue

Just wanted to update you on Mike. He had been taken off of Tarceva( after being on it only 5 days) and his oncologist will put him back on it at a lower strength. He had such a strong reaction rash wise in only 5 days that the doctor has had him take a 2 week break. He wants him to resume the Tarceva at 100mg. on Sept 5th . We will see how it goes from there. The doc says that he has seen this before and then after a two week break, the patient goes on to tolerate the 100mg better and still get a good response. We are hoping and praying for that to be Mike's case. Otherwise, he is doing fairly good. He's a bit fatigued and is having a bit of swelling in his ankles. To cover all bases the doc is ordering a echocardiogram to be done. There are other reasons for the swelling, such as prednisone that he is on and the high amounts he has been on in the not too distant past. I guess it's hard to get a good diagnosis to all a cancer patients symptoms because of all the possible causes for things. Anyhow, that's where we are for now. Gonna jump in there and try it again starting Sept. 5th. Love and Prayers to you all.... Sue

Hoping and praying for all good things to come your way Addie. Love and Prayers, Sue

Thanks for starting this Maryanne. I would like to add my prayers for those folks in the path of Katrina , as well. As we all go through the fight against cancer ourselves or with our loved ones, we tend to forget how fast other things can take away life and property. A storm of that magnitude has the power to take away life and property of thousands.. It's so hard to comprehend the pure devastating impact it can have. God be with them all. Sue

Thanks Kasey and Nancy B. Sure hope they find out quickly what is going on with Fay. In the meantime , prayers continue from here. Love and Prayers, sue

Just like you Cindi, you make this sound as routine as changing tires. Just know that I pray it goes that smoothly . You know I will be praying for your successful surgery and speedy recovery. Love and Prayers, Sue
