Managing side effects can feel overwhelming when dealing with multiple medications, but it sounds like the scans showing stability is encouraging news to hold onto. Many people in this community find it helpful to keep a side effect diary to track patterns and discuss the most bothersome ones with their care team, as there are often ways to adjust medications or add supportive treatments to improve quality of life.

Are you sure about that? I'm still living with a death sentence. I'm trying to get the most out of this before the pain get unbearable
