I’ve been on targeted therapy twice, TEPMETKO. However had to discontinue treatment due to intolerable side effects. If you browse the drug I mentioned you’ll see how difficult it is to tolerate.
Diagnosed 2021 and ended second course of Tepmetko 4 weeks ago. PET SCAN scheduled for 9/4. Hoping despite side effect profile, it kept my cancer at bay🤞

Thanks for your responses….shall update after scan.

Hi @hatterasj10202 , These drugs can be powerful, and sometimes they are too much for the other systems in our bodies to handle. I'm sorry that you had to discontinue the targeted therapies. Are you on any treatment at this time? Would you like to share the results of your recent PET scan?
