Lu Ann - I am sorry to hear that your talc procedure didn't work. I had this done in December. When they pulled the first tube after my procedure, my lung collapsed, so they put a pigtail catheter in and drained me somemore. After that my lungs cleared up. You are not at the end of the road, just still trying to find the right drugs to fight your cancer. I am currently on Tykerb/Xeloda but have just started so I don't know if this will be the one for me, but I sure hope so. My prayers are with you that you and your onc will come up with something very successful. Don't give up the fight.
