patut Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 That's excellent Charlie. Tim was going to get started on Alitma but never had a chance to even have his first treatment and I had to cancel his order for it. I'm so glad it's working for you.

Addie Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Not to be too irreverent or sexist...but there are times in a guy's life when shrinkage is a good thing, eh? So where are you, Charlie. I've been here at Cindi's with my Margarita/rocks/salt just waiting for you to show up. I can't wait to see you drink out of a minnow bucket!! Cindi sterilizes them you know....for those of us on chemo! Although if you're gonna drink rotgut bourbon, one would have to wonder....What's the point of a sterilized bucket? Oh who cares about all that...will somebody pass the bar munchies, please....? Congrats, Charlie...this is really great news and merits a major celebration!

TAnn Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 CharlieD, This is fantastic news! Shrinkage is a great word, isn't it???? I'll have a frozen margarita with salt please! This is very encouraging to me, as my symptoms are beginning to worsen and I believe my next course of action is also Alimta. Thanks for the good news!
