Guest matt Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Hi All, I've found this site a great help, and hope to share info/thoughts/feelings here. I'm 46, now 8 months since dx of stage IV nsclc adeno...in a clinical trial of Tarceva (like Iressa) and Targretin (used in T-cell lymphoma) since the start, responding well but scared of the future despite my wishes to stay in the present. Enjoying my 9 yr old daughter as much as possible. I'll try to write more soon. Love to us all, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Welcome Matt, LOL Sorry I just got the pun there... It sounds like your trial is going well and I don't recall anyone else being on that particular trial so I'm sure we'll all be interested to know how it goes. Glad you came out of lurking...

JaneC Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Matt, I lurked for a long time before I "came out" too. Glad you decided to join. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest matt Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 I'll look forward to being part of the group. Jane, are you just on Avastin now? Sounds like you're doing well too. One of the oncologists I saw said I should "strongly" consider Avastin if the illness "progresses" (I hate that idea!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneC Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Matt, I've just been taking only Avastin (given every 3 weeks) since April . . . so far so good! I feel extremely fortunate to have gotten in to this clinical trial. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest matt Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 45 (or any age) is too young to be dealing with this...I too feel fortunate to be in the clinical trial and to be responding. Best, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJAS Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Hi Matt and welcome (Was that better Ry? You still have me cracking up on that one ) As you know since you've been around, this is a great place to be when you're dealing with lc. I am also intrigued with your treatment plan and would love to hear more about your choice and what led you in that direction. Glad you decided to speak up!

Nushka Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Hi Matt, Glad you are joining us. I too am very interested in your trial response. It seems you are doing very well. When you have the time I wish you would tell us more about how it came about that you got into a trial and how you decided to pick the one you did. It is wonderful that it is working for you.
