All,

Thanks for you kind responses. I look forward to making friends with all of you.

My kids are 9,7,5,4, and 0 (due 5/23) I too would have 4 or five more if I was ten years younger (oh theres the age thing again).
My wife and I love kids.

Didder, how is your mom doing? And, dont you just love the staff at U of C! Since your mom is on the Iressa trial, she is dealing with DR.Ezra Cohen. A wonderful man and an excellent doctor. He informed me the last time I was in, that of the 50 people in the study, most of which have been in longer than I, they have only seen 1 reaccurance. Now that's exciting.

I would suggest that anyone that has HNC should look into Iressa. a U Of C study recently concluded using Iressa for reaccurance with mixed results. It seems to be working on "maintenance" but not as well on reaccurance.

Thanks again,
-rh
