Jill, From your update, things sound much better. Hope your mom will continue to improve. You still have my prayers. Sue

Leslie, There can be so many reasons for coughing that it is really hard to give an answer, but if it is associated with increased shortness of breath it can be a real concern. My husband developed pneumonitis on Alimta but not until after several treatments... symptoms were dry non-productive cough and severe shortness of breath. It shows up on ct scan as a ground glass opacity .. looks like ground glass .. treatment is prednisone. It seems kind of early in his treatment for this to be the case. Sue

Prayers coming For Bev. Hope counts are good so she can get her treatment. Sue

Don't drink it often, but with pulp ...please. Sue

Jill, my prayers are with you, your mom and your family. Love, Sue

He is cool!!! Thanks, Randy. Sue

My condolences to you and to Marc's family. I am so very sorry to hear this. Sue

(((Sharon))), I have never been one who has written a lot of pm's , but I am very aware of your presence, and think of you as one of the very special members of this family. Sorry, you have been hurt. Just want you to know there are folks here who care about you that you may have never been aware of before.. Love, Sue

Karen, will be saying prayers that the clinic trial works magic. God Bless. Sue

Prayers going up for you and Beverly. Hang in there. Sue

Jim, Ron was truly blessed to have you for a friend. I am so very sorry for your loss. Sue

Too many !!! It seems my world went totally out of control when Mike was ill and I'm VERY slowly trying to clear clutter and get things under some new control. Will take me a long time. Sue

You can add in my prayers for your Dad. Sue

Hope there's still plenty of Bud Light... Happy Birthday Kasey!!! Love you girl. Love, Sue

Dawn, I agree with Ry. Have someone check him quickly. My mom's eyes were running too. Unless your GP knows about Tarceva side effects, I would go for an oncologist opinion. Eyes are too precious to take chances with. I Would be inclined to think it's Tarceva especially since the rash has flared up. Sue

Tina, I have been thinking about your mom also. Please keep us updated on her tests etc. In the meantime, my prayers are with your entire family. Luv, Sue

Tina, you have my prayers. I'm so sorry. Keep us informed. Love, Sue

Dawn, Yes, Tarceva can affect the eyes. My mom has been suffering with many side affects from Tarceva and itching, swelling and crustiness of the eyes was one of them. If you read the literature with it , it is listed as a side effect. Vena cava syndrome usually causes swelling to the upper body and the entire face. My husband had that. His arms were even swollen. I would contact the doctor right away about the effect on the eyes . Anything affecting the eyes has the potential to affect vision. I couldn't tell you how it will be treated. My mom had so many side affects she has gone off the drug twice and put on a lower dosage. She still can't take it. Good luck. Sue

No, don't think I ever did. Thanks for the laugh . Sue

So very sorry for your loss. Sue

Malou, So glad you checked in. I have thought about you and wondered how you are doing. So good to hear that you are doing well. It would be a treat to hear from you more often. Take care. Love, Sue

Dana, Count me in on the birthday celebration. Your mom was such a lovely person. On the 25th , perhaps we can meet at the pub to raise our glass to Joanie. Happy Birthday Joanie. Sue
