The cancer in my body is in all kinds of nooks & crannies. I'm on the daily oral medication, & my last scan showed the oral meds are shrinking the tumors. I had a fast growing breast tumor that was the size of a baseball & too dangerous to surgically remove - my cancer drug has stopped it's growth & is not as huge, it has also halted the cancer growths in other parts of my body.
I was diagnosed last autumn. I will never be cured. My oncologist has patients who've been on this medication for more than 5 years & they are still doing fine.
The worse are the drug's side effects. The cancer invaded my bones, & I have bone pain. I'm trying my best to deal with it. But I'll suffer the side effects if it's what keeps me alive & kickin'.
I'm suppose to start a series of infusions to help my bones. I'm still not too clear on how or what this will do. I have many questions to ask my oncologist.
I'm hoping your friend's meds are doing her well.
