carls Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Well its been a long 3 weeks. 5 weeks ago my father went onto Tarceva becasue the other treatments were not working. At that time the docs suggested that we move my wedding up from June. They had found new activity in the brain and really didnt give us much to go on. He went though 8 sessions of WBR. At his 3 week appointment the lung looked stable. In that time I also got married . His next appointment is next week and we are keeping our fingers crossed. His main problem now is dealing with all the side effects from the meds. He has constant hiccups, very dry and sore skin, and he is very tired. Other than that we are hoping for the best!!!!!

gail p-m Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Sounds like your dad is doing better than the doctors expected him too. For some, Tarceva seems to be a the magic bullet. I hope it is so in your father's case. And congratulations on your marriage. Prayers for the best. Gail p-m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
