Robert A. Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Hello group, It's been awhile since I've posted. Today marks 2 years that we got the news my wife had cancer. Started on the Keytruda Carbo cocktail and had success until about April 2020 when the Oncologist informed us the the tumor was growing again. In May she was started on Chemo which put her in the Hospital for 5 days (too strong). While in the Hospital her Oncologist told her there was a brand new treatment she was a good candidate for (Tabrecta) which is a pill which she takes 2 pills twice a day. Her 1st scan after taking this medication showed her tumor had shrunk more than 1/2 it's size. the next scan showed it shrunk another 1/4 from the original size. The last 2 scans the latest being a week ago showed the tumor maintaining the same size. The Oncologist is pleased so we will continue with the same treatment. So this makes 1 year and 4 months on Tabrecta. I hope everyone's cancer journey is going well, Robert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Galli Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Robert, How about that! What grand good news about your wife's experience on Tabrecta. No change on consecutive scans is indeed worthy of celebration. Stay the course. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
