I don’t talk about this a lot, because it isn’t my story to tell, but my brother has small cell lung cancer. He was diagnosed with extensive small cell lung cancer 14 months ago with a primary tumor the size of a mans fist in his his lung and multiple small tumors in the lungs, and liver. He took 4 rounds of chemo with immunotherapy, and has continued with immunotherapy. Tecentric is the immunotherapy drug, every tumor has shrunk to undetectable except the big one which is now very small. We are moving him to an apartment down the street next week and he is selling his house to a friend. The original time frame for him was expected that he could live maybe 8 months but now the doctor says he could live years but no guarantees. We are now getting excited to do things together and squeeze every drop out of life for whatever time he has. I don’t know if this success helps anyone here, but I can hope it does.
