midway thru initial round of treatment for my lungs ct scan shows tumors are responding have shrunk.
3 tumors. The source 3.9 cm in right hilar shrunk to 3.1.
one lymph node on top of source shrunk 20%. Other lymph node on subcarina shrunk 21%
Drs encouraged. Note great response.
fui…i am dlp-1 neg. Also negative for any biomarkers. Allows dr to use targeted as well as other therapies. Apparently they working!
Final round 4 due early 12/24. Bilobectomy early 1/25.
Lung surgeon notes when he takes out tumors and surrounding lns, he test the tumors. If they fully dead that is big sign that. The cancer dead and won’t come back.
based on current industry results when that is the case the cancer killed the cancer does not come back!!
even if not dead they do extra stuff to help ensure it not come back so still curable.
Dr notes 50/50 chance the test shows the cancer dead.
will posts updates.
god bless you all.
