It has absolutely saved my life, it is everything I prayed for, and it is hard to comprehend how fortunate I am to have access to this medicine, that this treatment has literally no side effects, and to be alive at this time in history.
I have no doubt I'd be dead if my disease progressed 5 or 10 years earlier when there was no good treatment available for MTC. (My first chemo was failing right when Retevmo was approved)
It's not a cure, and I don't know how long it will last before my cancer outsmarts the drug, but it is so reassuring there is such rapid research and breakthroughs being made.
