kimblanchard Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Hi friends, Just have to share what a great day my dear husband Bill had. Keep in mind that he hasn't walked more than 10 feet in weeks without having to rest..... Not only did we walk around a neighborhood block today, but he wanted to go shopping at Lowes, Meijer's, K-mart, Frank's Nursery for plants and Hall's restaurant for a double-decker hamburger!!!! I cannot believe it. Could it be that this new drug, Iressa, is working????? Granted it works in 30% of cases.... could it just be the thing for him??? We know that nationally 10,000 people are on this drug after failing standard chemo. That means that 30,000 of them get a positive response. I'm feeling so blessed and hopeful after a day like today that I just had to share. Blessings to all of you, Peg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debaroo Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Gail, GREAT DAY!!! My dad is on Iressa, and I think that he's really benefiting from it, too. I believe that when the Iressa works, IT WORKS!!! Keep us posted, and ENJOY! A toast "to more walks around the block, shopping sprees, and DOUBLE HAMBURGERS (CLINK) CHEERS! " Take care, Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
