Great result

[Brianderrick12]

Hi Everyone- just wanted to give an update on my brother . He’s had another scan - after chemo no 3 - I have to be honest we’ve been very anxious about the results. He set off doing very well & then took a drop. He lost 5 kilos in 3 weeks - appetite went - ulcers - constipation etc . The results today were very positive- his tumors have shrunk & the ‘ fluffiness ‘ in his lungs has all but disappeared. We are over the moon as you can imagine . He’s having one more full treatment & then one of the chemotherapy drugs will go - he’s continuing with one chemo & immunotherapy on a maintenance programme. He’s struggling to take care of himself but we can deal with that. Just wanted to post for anyone who’s in our position & maybe just starting out. Thanks again for all the support xxxxx

Thankyou- it’s not easy - my brother is unstable & a whole host of other things - the result has spurred him on to continue- we’re more positive now about the next few months - hope is out there xxxx

Oh yes, hope is out there in shovelfuls. You’ve done brilliantly. Although it must be very hard.
