Joanna and Danny Boy,
Thank you for the quick replies! I'm in Oregon as we speak and amazed that it can rain even in June! I've been in So. Cal too long. But I'm excited to see the team at OHSU and have MRI, CT and PET/CT films in hand. Danny, I'm encouraged by your taxol report. I'd heard Iressa was being used but every patient history I found said "deceased". A bit scary. smile
But Taxol seem to be happening across the board.
Today it's Saturday Market!
Hugs to both of you,
Ali Mae
