Shar Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Hi all, I got the results of my scan this morning and everything is still stable. It has been 21 months for me on Tarceva now, amazing really. I know I am one of the lucky ones for sure. The rash is now in check with the antiobiotics I am taking, my hair is even making a slow attempt at regrowing, hilarious result that it is. So, I am off to celebrate at the Gold Coast in Queensland for a week, then in February to Port Douglas. It should be relaxing and shark free I hope, unlike the beaches here lately. I hope this news gives others hope, it truly is an amazing drug. Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recce101 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Shar: Wow -- 21 months -- that's fantastic! A lot of our friends back on the U.S. mainland are probably asleep by now, but the night is still young here in Hawaii, so I can be the first to congratulate you! And I agree, after all you've gone through, don't take any chances with those sharks. Aloha, Ned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendy Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Congratulations on such excellent results. Have a great trip and stay out of the water. I have seen Jaws and wouldn't take a chance after all you have survived. Mendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jyoung20 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 From one 21 monther to another!!!! WOOOOHOOOOO!!! I am so happy for you Shar. I definately know what you mean about that hair thing... Does it grow slow or what? Also, Have you found that you really don't need tweezers for your eyebrows. I can just pull mine out...I have to be careful with washing my face or I might end up with no brows or lashes... Loving life and God Bless You!!!

ernrol Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Sharon, That’s great news. Have a great time and try to forget about cancer for a while. You are a few months ahead of me with the Tarceva. They are talking about taking me off it after 2 years. I am not sure they know why. Again have a great time. Stay energized, Ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
