Well, I've now been on Tarceva for a couple weeks and I've been feeling good, no negative side effects to date. I'm loving my new doctors and my experience at Dana Farber. The doctors listen with interest to what you have to say (as opposed to with one foot out the door) and work together to figure out the best game plan for you as a patient. Things happen fast. If they think you need a biopsy, you'll be getting one the next day. Everyone is friendly and accommodating. Needless to say I'm very happy with our decision to come here for treatment and grateful to Tim for pushing us in this direction and opening doors for me.
I miss my California friends and am looking forward to my next trip back, which should be within the month. Thanks again to my Criminal Minds family and other friends who have been so supportive of my journey. I hope to see everyone on the next trip.
I've started exercising lightly. My muscles are gone because of the bed rest. Hopefully I can build up my endurance and start to get back into shape soon.
Thanks again for all the support.
Andy

ReplyDeleteAndy,
ReplyDeleteWow! This is such great news! I am so stoked that the current course of medicine is working and that you can begin to exercise. The West Coast is missed but home is where your heart is and your heart is in all of ours. Are you eating? Is the cancer stopping? Shrinking? How is your back?
Bye for now and sent with love...
