letrazole and kisqalii not working in some areas but does in others

Letrazole and kisqali have reduced tumours in my lungs and stabilised my bones but is not effective on my lymph node [recurrence site] . Is this a known effect? Can it work later in some organs?

  • Hello and thanks for posting

    Cancer treatment can be complex and sometimes cancer cells can behave differently in various parts of the body leading to mixed responses to treatment.

    It's difficult to say for sure if your treatment will eventually work on your lymph nodes, but if you don't respond, your specialist team may consider other treatment options to target the lymph nodes more effectively. It's important to discuss this with them who can advise you on your specific situation.
