trish2418 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I have a PET scan scheduled for Thursday morning -- my first since stopping Taxotere and starting Tarceva in late April. I'm so anxious about how the Tarceva is doing that I can hardly sit still. Also, my first anniversary since dx is just around the corner on August 15 and that's got me all antsy. Add to that the fact that I was just recently diagnosed with ulcerative colitis (my first colonoscopy -- YUCK! and YUCK! I'm not going back for another when I'm 50!) and I'm up running to the restroom constantly. Thank goodness for understanding co-workers and family members who know how to clear out of the way when they see that look on my face! I'd love to be able to just medicate myself into a stupor until Thursday, but then I might not be able to make it to the bathroom in time. Grrrrrr. Can't wait for the weekend.

Andrea Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Good luck on the test! PS--my m om had the same potty problems on Tarceva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamataca Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 You certainly have enough to keep you busy! My mom had great success with Tarceva for 16 months. Hope it is a positive thing for you as well. One year---wa-hoo! We will all celebrate with you. Hope you get really positive results. Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ztweb Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Trish, May the week fly by for you, get you to the weekend, and put your bun (as my 3 year old calls it!) on the mend! God bless, Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cindi o'h Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Those first scans are a bugger. I don't blame you for going a bit nutsy. How about a tranquilizer? Or a martooni! very good luck on your scans. Will be watching for your update! Cindi o'h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karen335 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Trish, I too had Ulcerative Colitus a few years back. I went to Barnes Hospital for treatment. What worked for the bathroomproblems was Lomatil. You need to get it under control. You can lose too much weight and dehydrate very easily. It is a horrible disease and you need to try and get it under control. Ask your doctor, it works for the potty problems. Plrase keep us posted and also the results of your test on Thursday... God Bless and prayers, Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Saying lots of prayers for great test results on Thursday, Trish. I know how hard waiting can be. I think I'm probably the world's most impatient person. Be careful with those "ants in your pants." That could get painful...lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
