My most recent scan showed that the tumors were growing after 2 months of Crizobtinib. Every time a chemo treatment stops having an effect on cancer, I panic and think about the people I love that I have to leave or the things I want to do before I go. My doctor suggested that even though the drug did not shrink the tumors, it might possibly slow the growth rate. He recommended that I stay on Crizobtinib until another possible option is available. I'm unclear as to how long this process will be. There's no waiting in cancer. Everything gets worse with waiting. So I have an appointment with my previous doctor to explore possible clinical trials at his hospital. Hopefully, there will be a useful trial for me soon. The wait is tough. The longer I wait for the next treatment, the more pain I feel in my body.

Update - I was unable to get into any clinical trials, because of my seizures. A bit of a downer, but thankfully there was one chemotherapy that my previous doctor thought of. I started on Cyramza and Docetaxel. Hopefully it will be a good combination.
