TAnn Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Just a thought, I wonder if the survival rate has anything to do with the fact that those of us on Iressa are not suffering the life threatening side effects of chemo. Our immune systems are not compromised, we are not prone to infection, our blood counts stay up, we have our appetite, if we get a cold it more than likely won't turn into pneumonia. An ER nurse once told me, (during my frequent trips to the ER while on chemo) that 80% of cancer deaths are not from the cancer, but from complications from infections. Any comments?

Justakid Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Not sure how I feel about this. I'm glad that it's helping but wondering if I should be running too it. Go figure! Better go wash my hands though since I had chemo Tuesday! HaHaHa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
