neilb Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 ... must come to an end. I went over my scan results with my oncologist yesterday. No new growths, no new enlarged nodes, but 3 of the 4 previously enlarged ones grew (one of them very substantially). There clearly has been disease progression, so Tarceva is done, and we're on to plan C. After brief discussion, it appears that plan C will be Alimta and Avastin, starting next week. I'm optimistic!--Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Sorry to hear this, but hang in there. You're only on plan C a lot more letters in the alphabet, and when you get to Z, you just start over again at Plan AA. Best of luck to you.
