Well it`s been a few month`s that I have been on here, had a few set backs but getting through it,my lymph nodes have been enlarged and causing blood flow problems to my leg,have new spots on my lungs. So my oncologist said that it is time to take action! There is a new drug available called Tecentriq which i start next week. He said that it takes 3-4 months to see if it is going to work for me. Hoping that this works for me.
Sorry you are undergoing further complications. I have read of many successes patients have had with this new drug. I hope and pray that you join that list.
All the very best my friend,
Jack
Good Morning, Just wanted to post an update about my current treatment. I have had eleven treatments and have been seeing shrinkage in every CT scan since. My body is responding very well to this drug, so we will continue treatments every three weeks. Stage 4A does not mean death sentence , all you need is a positive attitude, great support and the will to continue!
