Grumpy-One-Lung Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Hi All I got a phone call from my doctor today (will yesterday now) saying that I could go pick up my Iressa Pills anytime. The insurance co. popped for the cost. So I picked them up last night and will start taking them Monday Morning. That will give me a good weekend before I start, ya see.... Almost like a min-vacation. I Thank You all so much for your offers and support on this, You have all been so kind and helpful. Bless Each and Every one of You and Your Family's.

ginnyde Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Grump, Good for you. Just make sure to get a supply of Imodium and some skin lotion like Aveeda before you start. May not need them, but good to have 'just in case'. Ginny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Deb Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Glad you got your Iressa situation handled quickly. I had asked my oncologist about Iressa, it may be something I will take in the future. It sounds to me to be a maintenance drug almost. I haven't had any really bad side affects from my chemo (taxol & carboplatin) except for hair loss and tingly toes. Let us know how you tolerate the Iressa. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
