Medication Woes

Randy began taking the Tarceva last Friday. By Saturday evening, he was beginning to get a rash. It has gotten more extensive nearly everyday. Dr. Ahmed told us that his experience has been that the worse the rash, the more effective the treatment. Hope he is right. If he his, the Tarceva must be eating cancer cells right and left. Randy is really being trooper. He never complains and continues to keep up with his schedule. He tires more easily, but so do I. I really think it is the "age thing", not the medication thing totally.

We are heading to Chicago for a few days. The national card show is at Rosemont and he has been looking forward to going for months. He will be able to catch up with all of his card collecting buddies. They have been very concerned with his health. Many have been calling regularly to chat and check up on the latest news. Thanks to all of you guys.

In addition to the card show, we will be celebrating with Katie as she finishes taking the bar exam tomorrow. Thursday evening we will be celebrating her accomplishment, as well as our 37th wedding anniversary. We will be staying with Randy's cousin Paul and his wife Diana. It is always great to get together with family.

That's about it for now. I'll catch you up when we return from our great adventure.

Keep us in your prayers.

Love to you all,

Randy & Sue
