shineladysue Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 (((Bucky))), Sorry the Tarceva plan didn't work. I hope your doctors have you on a new treatment plan very soon. Sometimes, what works for one doesn't work for another. Will be praying for much success from the next. Know that we are here for you.

LovesLife Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Bucky - I am so sorry to hear of the progression on Tarceva. Glad it was just a small advance that you can beat back with your next treatment. Take care and know I am thinking of you and praying for the next treatment to be a good one for you. Hugs, Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaminkw Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 bucky, sorry the Tarceva didn't do it. That's why they say every cancer needs to be treated individually. They will keep trying and hopefully will find the "right one" for you real soon. Hang in there. Judy in Key West Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I am sorry you had some progression. Hopefully the next drug will keep things stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb73 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I am sorry about the Tarceva, and praying for success that the next regimen will do the job. Bill had no luck with Gemzar. He had progression on it, but the next one, Alimta, gave him stability and some shrinkage for a very long time. Keeping you in all good thoughts, Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandraL Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Well darn Bucky. Let's hope the next concoction works its magic. Sandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patti B Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 ((((((Bucky))))) I am so sorry that the Tarceva did not work for you - it didn't for me, either. I am now on Navelbine and so far so good. Let us know which chemo they put you on next. You are such a fighter - the next one may just be the magic potion for you!!!! Hugs - Patti B.

Maryanne Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Iam so sorry Becky that the Tarceva did not work. Like many have said there are so many other threatments. I pray they find one that works for you. A small advance is certainly better than a large one! Hang in there you are one strong lady.
