Dear Sue

Apologies in the delay in responding to you, hope you do hear from someone who is taking this medication on its own. With this type of medication, it is usually continued if it is having a good outcome on the tumor size and if well tolerated.

If you wish to discuss anything you can call us on the free nurse led helpline number on 0800 358 7200

All the very best
