Using Gefetinib

Hi all

My wife has been on Gefetinib now for 8months after it was found the cancer has spread to her bones. We were told yesterday that nothing has changed on her scans since she was first prescribed so what I would like to know is how long does this drug normally work for before the cancer begins to grow again.

many thanks Don

Sorry Don,can't help,as I have no idea,maybe someone else is familiar with it,but the best would be to have a good chat with the medics.

Happy Xmas to you both,Wendells xxx
