Yeah!
Lisa, I AM SO HAPPY about stable disease for you. I pray for you all the time and I would hope that you would always ask for more when you need it. I'll be curious to hear the gall bladder results.
I had had a lot of weird belly pain and discomfort when I was having progression and when I wasn't some too. I felt much better after I read in a e-newsletter from Cancer Consultants that just having been subjected to so much chemo can mess up the digestive system in wacky ways. Miraculously, I have felt better since I read it.
Also, you may already know this, UCHSC is now an EAP site for Tykerb-720.848.0630, Megan is the gal to talk to.
