Thanks so much for reporting the results of this study. I check Lungblog daily, and I can tell you that you unequivocally are the best source for updated info on the battle against lung cancer. These findings just totally make sense to me … I’m a survivor (13 months since first noticeable symptoms, six months since diagnosis) of Stage IV locally advanced bilateral adenocarcinoma. Fighting to live life to the fullest, keep busy, and be productive can sometimes be a day-to-day struggle, but so far, so good. Seeing the information you present today reminds me why I have to keep things positive. Again, thanks! (By the way, my first chemo was Cisplatin, Doxetaxel, and Avastin … didn’t work. Now I get Alimta and Avastin every three weeks, and, again, so far, so good.)
