Dear Nguyen,
So glad to hear such great news. Yeah! Hugs and blessings to you and your family. |
Re: T-Dm1: "'...decreased in size... density"
Thank you for sharing! I'm glad she's responding well to TDM-1.
I'm also impressed she's had lung mets for almost 14 years and has (apparently) been pretty stable. If I make it 14+ years I'll be in my 70s--not exactly a "normal lifespan" for my family (lots of centenarians or close to it), but a pretty decent run. Congratulate her on being a poster child for "cancer as a chronic illness." I hope she's having a good, happy life. |
