Patkid Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/medical ... ewsid=9255 I am not as good at reading technical papers as Rich or others and at first I read this and was upset, but the last paragraph held out a lot of hope for us. Brian has had no further reduction in tumors since scans after round 2 of cisplatin/vp16--------but no growth or spread, either............I think this article says that Tarceva may hold him steady for a time............and if the side effects from chemo lessen, as they should, he will have a nice summer! I am very uplifted by this article. I hope I read it correctly. Pat PS I will post the link in LC news, too, but am hoping someone will help me understand what it says.

DebsSky Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Hi Pat: What I get out of it is that it can extend survival rate by acting as a maintenance drug in NSCLC. Sounds good to me and yes, I hope and believe Brian will have a good summer. Love and Prayers, Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
