sophiesdaughter Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 I just wanted to share with you the good news. My Mom had her appointment with the oncologist today and the x-rays showed 20-30% reduction after being on Iressa for only a month. She has been feeling great since she started it and apart from a rash on her face and very dry skin has no side effects. We are very excited and are praying that it continues to work. I wish everyone who is on Iressa that best of luck. Rana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Ry Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Rana, This is great. I suggest vitamin B complex for the dry skin. Also lotions help a lot. I use a moisturizer. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patut Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 This is such good news. We are happy at this end also as my husband has been feeling very well since he started Iressa in June. Let's hope it keeps working for all who are on it. Cyndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimblanchard Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Wonderful!! We are so happy for you and thank you for sharing the good news, it is encouraging. Hubby is on day 10 of Iressa - we are hoping. His neck stopped hurting almost right away (???) but now he is starting to break out with pimples. We are doing all the usual. Very very happy for you and your family. Jim and Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Rana. This should be posted in the "Great News" forum, cause it's better than just good news... Oh, we don't have a "Great News" forum? Ok, then great news posted in the Good News forum is still GREAT! Take care. David P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
