The appointment in the LOC clinic went as well as can be. The oncologist reviewed the new and the old X-Rays and noticed a reduction in fluid. However, this did not prove conclusively that the Tarceva has had any affect.
The overall view was that if my father was feeling better, his night sweats [...]

The past 11 days have flown by. We have finally completed the sale of my fathers business and he has now ‘properly’ moved in with us. It has been a tough two months for all of my family. After 20 years my father has finally retired. It is so sad that in retirement he is [...]

Dad felt very up beat today. He did not suffer any pain in his stomach during the night and all day. He has finally got some of his appetite back and has found a taste for herbal tea…not sure how long that will last.
Not sure if the Tarceva is working as he has not developed [...]

The rest of the day he felt ok. There [...]

I just hope he starts to eat regularly at home. I’ll wait a day and slowly begin the nutritional program. [...]

The consultation at the London Oncology Clinic was very positive. The consultant we met with was very friendly, understanding and honest. At no point during the meeting did he try and sell the clinics services or deter us from using the NHS. My brother in law (No. 2) and I found this so reassuring and [...]

I received a response from Dr West of Onctalk.com yesterday in response to my question (http://onctalk.com/bbPress/topic.php?id=680). The idea of embarking on Chemotherapy whilst my father is not immediately suffering from serious symptoms is a scary one. In addition to this, the knee surgery element of this whole situation is distracting. We understand the DVT and [...]

The Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) yesterday approved the drug Tarceva for use by patients with an advanced form of the most common type of lung cancer.
This [...]
