Guest DaveG Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 I had a talk with my oncologist today. This was not a regular appointment. As most of you know, I had been temporarily pulled from the ZD6474/Iressa study because of changes in my EKG. Today we talked about what's next. I will return in two weeks and will get another CT Scan of my Chest and Abdomen. The last three scans, November, December, and the first of this month, showed the same on all three scans - no evidence of growth since the November scan. If this next scan shows the same, I will go on regular follow up appointments with no farther treatments. Some place, in between the lines, do I detect REMISSION.
