Saw my oncologist yesterday.

[Georgie1]

Saw my oncologist yesterday, and was told my blood works are still very good. My next scan is on 18th march and I get the results on the 22nd. So not so long to wait on this one. My first one was done in November but I had to wait until 17th December, but it had been Great news as my tumours had shrunk, the largest one by 3cm. I feel Great! I look Great! You would never guess I have this awful illness. So please everyone who has just found out they have this disease please stay strong and be POSITIVE! Good luck to everyone. Georgie x

Great news Georgie, Isn't Iressa wonderful? I get my CT results today (my scan was Saturday) and although I had a new tumour on the last scan 3 months ago at the mo I am hardly coughing anymore and I still feel good. I have continued to take Iressa in the meantime so I have now been on it for 22 months. It will still be working at around 80% so I'm hoping the new tumour isn't much bigger and if that's the case I will stay as I am a bit longer. Either way, this is 22 months of a pretty much normal life with minimal side effects which is fantastic. Research is showing that a course of IV chemo will 'reset' things and then I will go back on another tablet like Iressa. I feel there has been real progress in fighting this disease in the recent years and they really are on the verge of treating it as a chronic illness rather than the 'death' sentence it once was. I am TV tomorrow talking about this :)) (BBC MIdlands today).

Here's wishing you many years of successful treatment.
