melindasue37 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Howdie all, Well, we finally got the results back from the doctor today. It has been 2 months since my Mom started taking Tarceva. The doctor was very pleased with the results. He told us the tumors hadn't shrunk (YET) but that there were no new spots showing up. The tarceva is working and he said he would see her in a month for another scan. She is slowly getting her energy back to where she is feeling more like herself and after the news today is on cloud 9. I think God is hearing our prayers......

Don't we love that cloud 9 feeling? Now, what would you like to order from the pub?

melindasue37 Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 Cindi, I thought you'd NEVER ask!! I better make it something good after such a great day. Make it a vodka gimlet. I only have those on special occasions cause I've been known to have a few too many once I get started. But what the heck........CHEERS!! Thanks everyone for the replies. It really makes someone feel special to hear that others are sharing in both their bad AND good news. My prayers will continue for all of you as well.
