SusanK Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 I joined this board in Feb, 08, but am only now introducing myself. I am happy to see some familiar names among the recent introductions. As a suburban Chicagoan, it makes sense to me to join a site belonging to a Chicago organization - one that my doctor works with. The details of my diagnosis and treatments are below - I've been more or less stable on Tarceva for almost 2 years, but I don't know how much longer that will continue. My avatar says it all!

SandraL Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Welcome Susan and congrats on being stable for so long. I love Chicago, visited there just last year. The purses on Michigan Ave were a little out of my league but what a great city. Best wishes for continued stability and enjoying your life. Quote
Kasey Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 A warm welcome to you, Susan. I'm so pleased you decided to jumpin and post. There are so many folks here who I find just so inspiring with their stories. They offer so much.......info, support, caring, and friendship. Chicago is a great city. I was there only twice ~ once years ago, and again just last summer. We loved it. So ~ glad to get to know you and surely hpe you decide to stick around. It will be great getting to 'know' you and join together in our journey. Kasey Quote
