Hi, the same happened to me,, though my oncologist said, if after three still progression, then it will be stopped. As you said, they do and can expect growth.
Mine stabilized and i carried on for two years. Onwards and Upwards. xx
I went on it first when was licenced by NICE, i had pemetrexed , and it was every three weeks for two years, now people receive it every six weeks, things change so much.
My thyroid , started to play up, but settled down, and if it had not would have been medication, the same as tests for diabetes , as treatment can cause that at times.. I wish you well.
Yes same thing here...but after another 4 weeks it was shrinking, thyroids took about 3 years to get stable and find the right dose. But hey, now 8 years later i'm still here.
