Update

I just got my most recent CT scan results.
Since I started with treatment my tumors gave shrunk by more than  half.
That translates to a 97% success rate.
I am thrilled with the results and the doctor has reduced my Tarceva pulse dose to 750 mg to lessen the side effects. This will hopefully increase my quality of life without compromising the treatment.

This is the first Thanksgiving in many years that I have not been able to go watch the Macy's parade, but I hope to go back again next year, God willing.

Keep up with the prayers and good wishes. They are working.

Happy Thankdgiving to all!

Update

I want to sincerely apologize for my lack of updates.
Thank God nothing new has been going on.
I continue on the clinical trial of Tarceva, taking 900 mg twice a week and 50 mg the rest of the week. I continue to have MRI and CT scans on a regular basis.
This past Friday, I had my most recent MRI and it showed no new lesions on the brain.
Today I had a CT scan of the lungs and abdominal area and I will get those results next week.
The side effects continue with some days better than others, but all in all, I am feeling pretty good and very optimistic.
