Hello @pandre01, I'm sorry to read that you have had metastasis, and I am glad to read that it is stable so far. The advice you're sharing is so valuable. Did you learn about those treatments and medications from your oncologist or from research? Would you be able to share more of your journey? Warmly, Leigha

My oncologist knew they were available at a local hospital. They had just finished clinical trials and the drug was put on the PBS (https://www.pbs.gov.au/info/about-the-pbs) just before my treatment. I was immensely grateful, and surprised as there were only 35 cases at the time.
