      Dad has ROS mutation

      By edivebuddy · Posted

      Do not let the term aggressive fool you.  While in the ICU for because mine for more aggressive than any seen or heard of at about 2 am an oncologist sat down beside me after starting my first chemo.  He said he knew I had to be scared with the days events and it was indeed more aggressive than he would have ever imagined cancer could be.  He then said in his experience aggressive Cancers that respond to treatment tend to respond just as aggressively as they grew.  He was so right.  My cancer responded faster than they thought was possible.  After my first infusion of keytruda is was 12 days and an metastasis on my neck was 100% gone.  I could see the one in my neck was either gone or at least too small to notice. It was bigger by an two hands held in prayer 🙏. ROS1 can be aggressive, but it's also associated with better overall survival.  Alimta, plus chemotherapy with addition of a TKI should be very very effective  since ROS1 positive Cancer tend to respond well.   Good luck to you and your family.  Hopefully you guys get a break and some good News soon.
