"Diagnosed with MTC 8/2020. Rx initiated 11/2020. One month later, primary nodule in thyroid and larger nodules in lung decreased in size by ~50%. Little or no reduction subsequently, but calcitonin and CEA continued to drop until in normal range (big drop first few months!). Started with 320 mg, reduced after 3-4 months to 240 mg, then to 160 mg (80 mg 2x daily). Condition stable as of 01/2023. Early side effects were abdominal pain and slight leg swelling in one leg. Pain went away after dosage reduced. Swelling diminished. Doctor says some from initial trial stable four years on. I can’t find any data, though, other than for trials that led to initial approval, which only refer to efficacy after 6 months. I wish I could find more new data, but am very happy with results to date, and I’m hoping stability continues … UNTIL A CURE IS FOUND! Keep working, researchers. You don’t know us, but we’re counting on you. Thank you."
