NOT SO GOOD NEWS
My CT scan yesterday showed a worsening of my condition. Other tests showed thar my oxygen absorption rate has fallen to 80 which is very low. So, the doctor put me on oxegen.It is a bit of a pain to haul around, but does make me feel better. It has not however alleviated the severe shortness of breath we have been experiencing the last few days. The Tarceva was obviously doing no good so we are stopping that. Since that drug causes shortness of breath I am hoping that condition will improve. I have a couple of choices now. Give chemo another try or do nothing and let nature take its course. I'll let you know what I decide.

Well shoot. I'm sorry, Daddy. I'm glad the oxygen is making you feel better though. Big hug from over the mountains...Love Mary.
Grandpa-Thanks for posting. I wish it was better news. I really hope that the breathing becomes easier and that once the Tarceva is out of your system things will continue to improve. As always we are sending healing thoughts your way :) I know that whatever decision you come to will be the best decision. It is always difficult when there are pros and cons to both options.
On another note-did you have a nice time when my mom was over there?
Love,
Lana:)
