Found out this AM at my Addenbrokes appointment that the octreotide jabs I have been on for the last 3 months have been working as planned! Last few weeks have been a little scary as this was Plan B .... however apart from a little more localised pain my thymoma has taken the hint and is on it's way back to where it was end of last year. My fight is now a war of attrition - octreotide is more of a stealth weapon than chemo - but anything proposed by Addenbrookes and Papworth is Heaven-sent. They are truly miracle workers. As always, more than happy to help anyone ... my specialist subjects are tagged below ..... All the best to all, Richard.
