Doctor said “unheard of”!

I have been taking Ibrance and letrozole for 28 months now for metastatic breast cancer. When diagnosed, it was already in breast, lymph nodes, liver, lung, and vertebrae. A few weeks ago, I had a CT Scan. The only cancer showing was a couple spots in vertebrae...all other places were unremarkable...nothing showed up.

My doctor said this never happens...meds just meant to slow progression, not cure. My PCP said the same thing...unheard of! Of course, both of them had huge smiles on their faces. They can’t figure this out. Waiting a few months and will do another scan. I am thrilled, but I also have to say that I have a whole church full of prayer warriors who have taken me on as their project...even declared a day of fasting and prayer for me. I have no doubt meds are working, but I also believe in the power of prayer to change things...even make meds work better than they are supposed to! 😊. Just wanted to share that we do have hope!
