Hi All, Had a bit of a scare over the last few weeks, Ange not been breathing as well as before, coughing a little more & getting tired quicker. We went back to the Christie just to be on the safe side & were told still stable, "A virus maybe". Ange has been to her GP this morning and been given an inhaler & a course of antibiotics and been told to rest, I know she won't rest here so we're off for a week in the sun. How's everyone else out there by the way? Its been quiet for a while, I hope that means good news.
Take Care Duane

Hi All, Didn't get too much sun, it rained most of the week.
Ange's breathing didn't improve while we were away but we had an appointment at the Christie this morning anyway. X-ray shows a little change for the worse, she's been told to stop taking the Tarceva as this could now do more harm than good, she's got to go for a ct scan then back to the hospital in 3 weeks to decide on the next course of action. Alimta was mentioned when she asked about 6 months ago, has anybody got any experience of the drug?, but nothing was suggested today.
Tarceva was fantastic while it worked, the rash was only for the 1st few months really & hair loss was quite bad at first but soon grew back. We've read about other people's experiences on tarceva both good & bad but for Ange the treatment was easy to cope with & allowed her the freedom to work and travel to many places.
Will keep posting All take care Duane x
