Two postings in one day - that's a new one!
A few months ago, I participated on a web panel with 3 other people to discuss three topics - Coping with Lung Cancer, Scanxiety and Dealing with the Stigma of Lung Cancer. There is also a video introducing each of the panel members. The videos just posted at this link.
The video was paid for by the pharmaceutical company that makes my Tarceva in conjunction with the lung cancer awareness charity Lungevity. I think these videos are a good step in creating more awareness and support for lung cancer.

Pictures from our Cruise through Greece and Turkey
It took longer than I thought it would for me to get my act together, but here is the link to Shutterfly with the "highlight reel" of pictures from our sailboat cruise to the Athens and the Greek Isles of Mykonos, Santorini and Rhodes and the Turkish ports of Bodrum, Kusadasi (which takes you to Ephasus) and Istanbul. What a great trip! http://share.shutterfly.com/share/received/welcome.sfly?fid=7688c72f14d97ada&sid=0Absm7Jo1ZOGTrQ
The story behind this trip is that Doug and I had originally planned to take a cruise through the Greek Isles for our honeymoon and it didn't work out for logistical reasons. We never stopped wanting to take this trip. This September marked our 20th wedding anniversary and that, in combination with my cancer diagnosis, prompted us to make this dream a reality. It was worth the wait!

Another clear scan
I had another check up today. The CAT scan showed no changes and the bloodwork was all in the normal ranges. I am so thankful to continue my streak of good health. It has now been over two years that I have been on Tarceva, which is longer than the median of 9-14 months before the body develops a resistance to the drug. I hope to keep this trend going for a long time!
We just got back from a wonderful 11-day sailboat cruise through the Greek Isles and the coast of Turkey. I'll be posting pictures on Shutterfly once I have a chance to make a "highlights reel" and will provide a link to the pictures on this blog for those of you interested in viewing them - so stay tuned!
