We went for my husbands appointment today at the University Hospital. They drew more blood work and we filled out paperwork. They put his info into a computer and it decided which study group he would fall into. Group A would get Tarceva AND chemo, and Group B would get only Tarceva. Roy fell into the Tarceva only group. I have been holding my breath for over a month now... since finding out that he has this terrible disease. He isn't sick, just a slight cough and groin pain. It was found by an x-ray of the groin. We were shocked. I'm a nurse and have mixed feelings about chemo and the damage it does to the body, but also know what cancer does to the body. It's so hard to know what to do. I left it up to my husband.. and God. I prayed that He would put Roy in the best 'group' for Roy. Roy had an IV placed this morning and was all ready for the chemo, but dreading it, when we were told that he fell into Group B. He smiled so big and almost did a jig. I let my breath out. It was like a stay of execution. I was so relieved that I came home, went to bed and slept until dark. I didn't realize how stressed I've been. I keep trying to be strong for Roy. We have changed our diet drasticly and will fight this with everything we can do. Please keep us in your prayers!
