Non-Small Cell Lung Cance
"In September of 2009 I was diagnosed with Adeno Carcinoma that originated in the lung and had spread to my spine and 9 lesions in my brain.  The mass in my lung was 4.8 cm by 3.1 cm.  My initial outlook was quite grim, however, after one round or radiation and 30 days of Tarceva, the cancer in the lung had shrunk 30%.  In April of 2010 the cancer had shrunk 99% and the lesions in my brain were down to 1.  I have been able to return to work full-time with my only limitations being to avoid sun contact with my skin as much as possible.  Since I am a police officer, I have a power test I take yearly, which includes a 1 1/2 mile run, which I was able to complete with 29 seconds to spare.  The medication is GREAT, even with the rash!"
