I am so sorry to hear about your dx.
What I have learned here, in just a few days, is that this board is a safe harbor for your pain, frustration and fear...which slowly convert to hope, inspiration and strength.
After only a few days I can feel the change.
Also, Brainstorker: I thought I read that Iressa was being dropped for some reason. Are you still on it?
