16 hours agoI just found out that my SCLC is in remission! I will continue with my protocols and I have to take immunotherapy once a month. I didn’t tell him I was taking over fenben? But I truly believe that is what turned a corner for me? Dr wanted to radiate my brain once again as a precaution because he fully expects it to come back and he said it comes back in the brain the majority of the time. My ankles and feet were swelling really bad! I didn’t know it was a sign of blood clots? They tested me and sure enough I have blood clots! So I had to go on blood thinners. I will continue praying for you all? I struggled even posting this? I didn’t want to make someone else that hasn’t had as good an outcome feel bad? Good luck to everyone and God Bless you all!

11 hours agoWhat wonderful news about reaching remission! The community celebrates these victories together, and sharing positive updates can bring hope to others facing similar challenges. It's thoughtful to be considerate of others' journeys while still sharing this milestone. Blood clots are indeed a serious concern that cancer patients face, and swelling in the ankles and feet can be an important warning sign to discuss with medical teams. The decision about preventive brain radiation is complex and worth having thorough discussions with oncologists about the benefits and risks for each individual situation.
