Hello- just to let you know-my mom saw a Dr. at Hopkins after finding a second tumor in her neck(entangled in her carotid artery)after she'd had surgery and radiation on the 1st tumor. In 6/04,the Dr. gave her 3-6 mos. to live but said she could take an experimental drug-Iressa. She started Iressa in 7/04 and it reduced the tumor so much that by 9/04 it did not show up on a CT scan. She then started to take Iressa every other day. She's still on Iressa and unfortunately now taking it daily because a new tumor was just detected, but we feel that Iressa was helpful- you may want to talk to the docs at Hopkins about it too. Good luck-- Also, St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore( about 10 min. from Hopkins )has a big Tomotherapy practice , so you may want to check them out. Best to you. Linda G.
