When I got to work on Tuesday morning before my appointment, (my friend) Janeen said she had invisioned the x-ray the Dr. would be taking that day to show little cancer cells "taking cover and screaming out....ok, ok, I give up. We didn't realize who we were messing with". Though it wasn't quite like that, my oncologist's office called yesterday afternoon to inform me that there was a definate change (for the better) on my x-ray after only one month of Tarceva.
The Dr.'s office was as excited about these results as I was. I knew my cough was better and my drowning feeling had nearly gone away. I've been saying all along that if someone is going to beat this thing...why not me? They still say it's not cureable but stopping the mutation of the cancer cells is a win-win situation.
Next month I will have a new Chest CT Scan that will determine what's really going on inside. Thanks again for all your support and prayers.
Dream Big,
Love ~ Dor

Mom, although your doctor couldn't confirm that the cancer cells were crying out and running for cover, I prefer to visualize it that way. Is that ok with you?
We should be called "TEAM TARCEVA"!
Love you,
AJ
Oh... mom... you almost did it. You almost said the name Janeen without saying (my friend) before it. :) It's ok, I won't tease you. In fact, I'm sure nobody had a clue who you were talking about had you not mentioned it was your friend from work.
I just attached this picture of you two in case people were still confused.
I'm happy the Tarceva is working... although I had no doubt it would.
Lots of love....
That's great news, Dor! If anyone can beat this, it's you! I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, and sending good energy vibes your way everyday! I love you!
Love, Mel
