recce101 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Hi, Tracy. It's a bummer that you're having to leave the Avastin club so soon -- I was hoping you'd get a few more months of "easy street." I've been on Avastin alone since early February, you since December as I recall, and hasn't it been nice! I won't be getting another scan until late June, so I'm okay for a while. At some point it's pretty much guaranteed that I'll show progression too, then it will probably be Alimta for me as well. Or Tarceva, since I haven't had that one yet. Now go hug your beautiful family and share some of our Aloha with them all. My admiration and best wishes, Ned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEA Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Tracy, Hoping Altima will be your miracle. Sending up prayers. Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geri Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Well crap! I'd like to say #*%@ but Katie will censor me. I'm sorry there's another bump in the road but it sure sounds like your onc has a grader in the garage ready to roll out and even it out. Enjoy your weekend and know that we're all behind you fighting with you too. Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dadstimeon Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Tracy--Sorry to hear that but glad to see you have another game plan. I had Alimta and had good results with it, only side effect was fatigue but it is doable. Prayers for the best. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mary colleen Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Tracy, There is not much I can add to the strength and good wishes already here. Anyway - I think you can fight this and win, regardless. You're just a champion. Blessings (and admiration) Mary Colleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dchurchi Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Tracy, Oh how I hate the fact you are in the fight again. You would think the beast would be smart enough to just stay away from a fighter like you. Alan and I will keep you in prayer and hope this chemo is the long term solution.
