Hi ! Could you please let me know after how many doses of Sylvant the nodes are reduced to the normal size. I know, every body respond different, but an estimation will be helpful. Many, many thanks.

Hi there as it was a few years ago now I'm not sure of the exact amount of time so I think around 6 months I was in remission from starting the treatment and that was a dose every 3 weeks and still now 7 or 8 years later my scan results show no more growth, so good luck I hope it works for you also and God bless
