10 days agoHi I am Lisa. I have stage 4b cervical cancer. I have had 4 chemotherapy treatments. After 3 my oncology doctor did a pet scan and it had shrunk some and some of my lung spots had gone away.

10 days agoResponse times to chemotherapy can vary significantly from person to person, even with the same diagnosis and treatment plan. The positive changes you're seeing on your PET scan are encouraging signs that your treatment team will use to guide your ongoing care decisions. Many others in this community have walked similar paths and may have experiences to share about their own treatment journeys.
