Erivedge Stopped Working

I started taking erivedge 4 months ago for metastatic (from arm to armpit). My first ct scan showed a significant decrease in size. 2 months later it was the same size. How could it work so well and then stop?

Unfortunately, that is the nature of cancer and its treatments, there is never any guarantee that an improvement is going to be permanent, or continuous, according the AMA.

A friend of mine recently experienced something very similar with his cancer and treatment. He was doing quite well for awhile, with his tumors becoming smaller, then suddenly the started to grow, again.

It might become necessary for you to try other treatment options.

What did your doctor say about it?
