    Still here - thanks for your kind thoughts. How are YOU doing? I was so shocked that we lost Jane so soon.

    Good Luck,
    Jean

    Jean,

    Glad to hear from you. I have not been posting much on this board but was thinking about you. I am having a ct scan on Monday. My TM's are on the rise and they have been very accurate for me. I have been on a clinical trial for 8 months and was doing very well...until the tm's shot up. Lungs were in remission and the liver was close. Dang...this disease seems to have part of my personality...stubborn!

    Take care Jean and keep those posts coming

    Warmly,

    Judie
