Mom has her 3 month scans tomorrow. She is feeling so well I almost didn't post this, but I've been around here long enough to know that you should NEVER take this beast for granted. So any prayers or good thoughts you have for her would be appreciated.

Results come in on Thursday the 22 and I will update everyone then.

Thanks!

Mom got he scan results on Thursday. The primary tumor in her right lung has grown from 2.6 to 3 cm. There is no other change which means that the lesions on her liver and left lung are still not visible. There is also no change in her bones, which is good.

The Onc. is upping her Tarceva from 75 mg to 100. She goes back in two weeks and I think if she tolerates that he might up it again. There was some talk about doing chemo again, but mom is talking like she doesn't want to do chemo again. I guess we will try the increased dosage and see if that stabalizes things.

Overall it's not the best news, but it could have been a lot worse. The primary is still half the size it was in November of last year and Mom is still feeling good with lots of energy. So cause for concern, but no one is hitting the panic button yet.

Sue, I'm thinking like Ned. Such a small change is hardly a change at all. Seeing those little blips are the price we pay for being watched carefully. Mom's feeling good and that's the important thing. Hope the increased dosage doesn't cause her grief. Give her a hug for me.
