updates

hello all,
can you believe that it's been almost a year since the last post and mom has done incredibly well. over the past year her scans have shown absolutely no growth or change in the sizes of the spots and she has been taking tarceva once a day.
as of her latest scan on wednesday of last week, there has been a small grown in the tumors scattered at the bases of her right and left lungs. vince feels that this is the signal we need to change the treatment plan. mom has discontinued the tarceva tablets and we will move on to plan b.
on halloween, we will go to baton rouge to have a port a cath placed in mom's chest and she will receive her first round of chemo on wednesday. i will be in louisiana all next week and will post updates. again, thank you all for your love and support....it means so much to us
