This is great news, So glad your treatments are working. Praise God!
My husband is receiving mixed results from his chemo. Most of the LMS tumors in his lungs are shrinking but some are continuing to grow. He also was off of chemo for 6 weeks due to infections and covid but his latest CT still shows progress. He has a consult for radiation on the tumors that are still growing in a couple of weeks, praying that will take care of them.
What kind of chemo are you taking? He is taking Docetaxel and Gemcitabine.

I had lung metastasis too. Three tumors in my lungs. After my hysterectomy I started Doxorubicin, 6 cycles. The Doxo helped stabilize the cancer but didn’t really shrink the lung tumors. After the chemo ended, I treated my lung tumors with SBRT and one with cyroblation. I’m on a hormone blocker and my last PET scan after all treatments were completed shows no evidence of disease (NED). I’ve been battling for nearly two years and one month NED.
Has your husband had genomic testing done his original tumor? It would show if any other chemos/clinical trials may be available based on the mutations of the tumor.

. Radiation to my lungs was very successful. I hope it works out for your husband too. I’ll be praying for you both!
