Robert A. Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Hello group, hope all is well with your treatments during this pandemic. I last posted in September after my wife's 1st scan after being on Tabrecta for 3 months which showed her tumor had shrunk more than 1/2. It's been another 3 months on the same treatment so we went for a scan last Thursday with a Dr. follow up the 31st. The treatment has gone rather easy with the only side effect being swollen feet on occasion. The Dr. prescribed a water pill to take when needed. This medication has been so much easier because she can take it at home 2 pills in the morning and 2 pills in the evening. He's hoping that the Trabecta is still doing it's thing and will post the results in the New Year. I hope all of you have a safe and Happy Holiday and may the New Year bring us new treatments.

Rower Michelle Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Hi Robert, So nice to hear from you with wonderful news!! I’ve had issues with edema & have to take a water pill too, however after about a year my potassium levels started to fall. You may also want to ensure your wife has potassium rich foods like bananas & citrus. Watermelon helps to keep swelling down too. All the best to you and Vera for a joyful holiday!!

Michelle I have continued swelling more than three years after my last treatment. Neither Super Doc nor Super Primary Doc can pinpoint a cause so take HCZT every day and Super Doc prescribed potassium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
