dadstimeon Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Good Day All, Saw my wonderful doctor today. Things are stable. Some nodules decreased, some grew slightly, some stable, grew some new ones but all are very small, all under 1.6 cm or less. One in the upper right lung if it gives me any problems with pain or anything might nuke that one, but it is small also. Adrenal Glands, lymph nodes in the upper chest/pelvic area are stable. Staying on Tarceva and will get another Ct Scan and see my doctor in early August. Putting this one in the win column. She also mentioned down the line if needed Alimta or Avastin with combo of Carbo/Taxol. Still plenty of time and options left to beat this thing. Again thank you everyone for the kind words and prayers. They mean a lot to me. Peace, take care and God Bless. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam's friend Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Great news. I've come to regard "stable" as the most underrated word in the English language. We've been stable for 1 yr and everytime I hear our Oncologist say the word I clench my fist and say "Yes!!". Thanks for sharing your news and brightening our day.
