luluc Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 Does anyone have any experience with Iressa? Anything at all shared is appreciated. How long should you be on this before having a new scan? Quote
Don Wood Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 Use a search machine like Google, input "ACOR Iressa" and you will get a great sight for Iressa info. Don Quote
kimblanchard Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 Hi, My husband was on Iressa for 60 days before scanning took place. Blessings to you, Peg Quote
norme Posted August 2, 2003 Posted August 2, 2003 Hi LULU, I am not knowledgeable about Iressa but a lot of people on this board have and are on Iressa. Some for very short periods because it did not help, others for longer and still on because it is helping. Hope you went into the site that Don told you about. It probably has everthing you want to know except for how soon to have scans. not so sure it will speak of that. Your onc should be able to tell you that.... Hang in and hope for the best... Quote
luluc Posted August 3, 2003 Author Posted August 3, 2003 Thank You, Norme, Peg, and Don for the interest in trying to help out. There's always a need for information. It has only been three weeks now. The oncologist doesn't give a lot of information. Next appt is second week of August. What questions should we ask then? Thanks again! luluc Quote

Carolyn Flournoy Posted August 3, 2003 Posted August 3, 2003 luluc I've found that if I go to search on this website alot of my question have been answered. Just put in Iressa and there will be over 100 different post. In the middle of the night and I can't sleep and need information or inspiration on any subject about LC this is the place that I go to.
