with stage IV adenocarcinoma and mets to the skull, ribs, sternum, femur, spine, hips, and humerous. 8 rounds (yes, e-i-g-h-t) of carboplatin/taxotere and 14 doses of full brain radiation (for leptomeningeal carcinomatosis) later, she's still alive. Tarceva was started in May, and it's kicking cancer's butt, even if she is not EGFR positive.

SHE STARTS ANOTHER YEAR OF TEACHING 5TH GRADE SCIENCE NEXT MONDAY.

Thanks to God, Dr. Fosella, and M.D. Anderson she's still slugging it out.

So happy that things are going so well!!!

Prayers that the Tarceva will keep kicking the cancer's butt for a long long time and your wife has many more years of teaching!!

(Although teaching 5th grade science sounds like torture to me!!)

She will be in my prayers!

Please convey my delight to teacher warrior. I am so happy to hear that Tarceva will allow her to keep educating. Someone has to do it!

I've been following your posts at GRACE. Congratulations to Teacher Wife on her "anniversary" — and I'll be looking for a similar announcement this time next year! Don't worry, this annual event will not crowd out any of your other yearly celebrations, just make them more meaningful. Best wishes and Aloha,

So happy to see this news this morning. Sounds like the best to be just going on and living her life after a year of treatment. Lucky 5th grade kids too!

Congratulations on reaching this milestone with your wife! I hope she has a great year with the 5th graders who are very lucky to have her as their teacher.
