shineladysue Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I love this board and I love the fact that I can report that my mom's PET Scan end of June showed she is CANCER FREE- NED!!! She had an oncologist appointment this morning and all was good. Her bloodwork is good and all her vitals etc. She was on Tarceva as adjuvant chemo, for 9 days at 150 mg, but the list of side effects she had was rather long. After being off of it a couple weeks she is feeling much better. He said he would like for her to start on 75mg. and see how that does . He said if need be he can even lower it from there. He just wants her on some kind of chemo . Due to her overall condition, age (78yrs) and other health concerns this is the chemo he has chosen to be the best choice for her. I just want to thank everyone for your well wishes and prayers. It means so much to me and my family. Now if you will join me in a happy dance.... I rarely get to do those, but for today we dance... Woo Hoo!!!! Love and Prayers to All, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ernrol Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Sue, That’s great news. For what it is worth the one thing that I take that I think really helped with the Tarceva side effects is the AHCC. I take 6 grams a day. I take 2 grams three times a day. I think this made a difference. Stay positive, Ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shineladysue Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 Thank you everyone for your continued support, prayers and happy dancing. You guys are the best. Don't know where I would be without you and glad I don't have to know. Mom is on 3rd day of Tarceva at 75mg.. early yet to know if this dose will work. Will update you later when we have a better idea. Again, thank you. Love and Prayers to all, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
