This is Lindap-I now go by Lindag-long story. My mom took Iressa every day from 7/04-3/05 and the tumor went away completely. Unfortunately, her doc-Dr. Cullen at univ. Of Md. - a great Dr.- said she could take it every other day b/c of the side effects, and the tumor has returned. She's now back to taking it every day but next week we'll see Dr. Cullen and he may want to put her on different chemo.She was originally told by a doc at Hopkins that she'd be dead by 9/4 , so she's happy that Iressa gave her that much more time. Thanks for your info. Linda
