The four sessions of chemotherapy I have had have reduced the cancer cells according to the results of the scan reviewed by my specialist on Monday.
That was NOT supposed to happen. The decision to go ahead with chemotherapy was finely balanced and it was palliative only - to improve my quality of life but was not expected to lengthen my projected life expectancy.
The Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome is a sign of aggressive small-cell lung cancer which is supposed to be difficult to slow and generally impossible to stop. Yet my cancer has retreated.
I am now an official medical anomaly. I already was rare, being the only person with Lambert-Eaton in my county and the only one they had ever encountered, but now I am proving the text-books wrong as well.
I have two more scheduled sessions of chemotherapy to go, then a further scan, and in February the specialist will review my progress as well. If the cancer continues to retreat or hold a steady state, radiotherapy might be considered. That was previously seen as pointless since I was not going to survive very long.
Now? Who knows?
I'm sorry to hear of you being sick, but that is some hopeful news. Wishing you the very best!!!!
Good luck!
