PBS Broadcast Explaining My Tarceva Treatment

Doug’s mom informed me of this broadcast on PBS this past Friday.  There isn’t anything really new in it, but it clearly explains the status of my Tarceva treatment and the ways they are looking for the next line of defense against lung cancer that responds to this type of treatment.  (By the way, contrary to the information in this broadcast, Dr. Bonomi believes he does have other treatments to try if the Tarceva ever gives out on me.)

You can either watch the video or read the transcript below it.  Here is the link:  http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/health/jan-june12/cancer_01-13.html  

Please keep those prayers, intentions, chants or whatever positive force you subscribe to coming so that they find further advancements and maybe even a cure sometime soon.  And please help build public awareness of the serious need for continued research for a cure for lung cancer, as funding for these research advancements is critical.

Thanks for all of your support.
