luluc Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 My brother would like to hear about anyone taking Iressa that have "good news stories" to share. How long on Iressa,and what is your good news concerning it? Looking forward to hearing them. Quote
annie1129 Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 Heard from my doctor that there is a patient taking Iressa 1 year ago (the patient had failed chemo & radiation and then tried Iressa), and is still doing good now. I saw the patient two times, and he looks so good. The nurse told me that he even can't walk last year (because bony met seriously), now he can doing exercise and have a walk every morning. Quote
christymike Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 I would like to hear some good news stories also. My dad gets another broncy and if it shows the cancer has spead my dad has requested Iressa. Im scared that it is worthless?? is it? anyone? Quote
Cary Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 My dad currently takes Iressa and scan results from today show no evidence of disease in the chest/abdomen/liver. He takes a few additional treamtents also, so more than likely it would be the combination of them all. Cary Quote
Guest Posted October 4, 2003 Posted October 4, 2003 My Mom is 76 and her lung tumor was the size of a grapefruit. After chemo and radiaiton failed she began Iressa in June. She immediately felt really really good. She even went back to work part time. On Wed dr told her in comparing her xrays it looks like tumor has shrunk. She is not feeling too well now, but I am hoping it is just a cold or maybe something to do with acid reflux from the radiaiton. Quote
