Monday...August 23rd...2010

Linda is still having pretty good days.....and she is keeping busy...not waylaid by no energy or..or. Her pulse has been up a bit which concerns her...after being "normal" for two weeks.....and she is still suffering from heartburn a lot...not being able to take her acid preventer....because of the Tarceva.

Today Linda got her bone builder...Zometa...by infusion at OHSU.....this being necessary because of the possible liesons on Vertebra T2 and T3....not any real changes in that area for a long time..so good news.

Linda will get her CT scan on September 1st and a visit with the Oncologist September 2nd.....our hope is that the tumor growth was because the Alimta chemo she had been on just became ineffective as opposed to the Tarceva not working..which would not be good.

Tomorrow Linda heads to Salem to be watched over by her friend Judy.....and there are things planned with many of her friends down there...so it should be a good week for her....Dave is doing a Wings Seminar which is a normal August thing over the years. In two weeks we go camping (in our RV) with some of the kids and families....

Linda did you try the Altoids curiosly strong mints for your heartburn? I chew about 4 of them at a time and it really relieves a lot of my heartburn. It shouldn't interfer with your medication. Worth a try. I will miss you this week. Have a good time in Salem. Dave, inspire all at Wings!
