Welthy Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Tarceva didn't work at all. Phone call from Onc's. office -- haven't read report myself. Eight lung tumors are still there and stronger uptake levels. Many more tumors in both lungs and new areas of cancer on left shoulder blade and right hip. Never has left lungs before so this is new territory. Thinking this is not a good sign. Hardly know what to think right now. Numb. Hardest part was having to tell our children and trying to sound strong and upbeat. Welthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ernrol Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Welthy, Sorry to hear that the Tarceva is not working. Have they thought of combining the Tarceva with other drugs? It sometimes seems to work better. I had Carboplatin and Taxol with the Tarceva. Now I see Tarceva and Avastin being given in combination. I'll pray that the doctors will come up with a treatment that will work. Stay positive, Ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindi o'h Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Welthy, So very sorry Tony didn't get better news. I know how rough this has got to be for you. Round two. There will be something for Tony in that black bag. It wasn't on top, but if they dig, it'll be in there somewhere. Hang onto hope!
