The Second Time Around

Randy began taking 50mg of Tarceva on Thursday. Side effects have begun to surface, but not as severely as the first time. He has a slight rash, some fatigue and loss of appetite. Those are all to be expected. Hopefully, they will not worsen as the days go on. Dr. Ahmed's plan is to take 50mg daily for two weeks, then depending on the side effects, increase to 75mg daily for two weeks. The goal is to work up to 100mg daily. Randy will have another CAT scan in a month or six weeks to see if the drug is effective.

Thank you for all of the cards, emails, phone calls and expressions of concern. I'm not sure what people do with out the support of family and friends. I'm just thankful that we have so many people who care about us.

Continue to pray for us. May His will be done in our lives.

Randy & Sue
