From 8201 to Inavolisib
From initially using 8201 to finally using Inavolisib, the journey has been truly difficult.
I’ve always known that she is in a lot of pain. Her pain medication started at 1 pill a day, gradually increased to 5 pills, and now the doctor has adjusted it to 4 pills for maintenance. Every change in dosage is a reminder that the disease is slowly progressing.
Most of the time I understand the reality of the situation. But as a husband, my thoughts are actually very simple — as long as she is still here for one more day, I still have my wife with me.
During this time, we have visited many hospitals, and there were also several times when admission was refused. To be honest, that feeling was truly devastating.
We are not trying to stay in the hospital unnecessarily, and we are not trying to occupy medical resources. For patients with advanced cancer, sometimes we just hope that the pain can be controlled a little better, or that if something sudden happens, it can be handled in time.
My wife has actually been very strong the whole time. She still believes she can keep going for a while longer.
Along this journey, all we could do was keep searching for information — reading papers, looking up patient experiences, and trying to learn as much as we could. While researching on some international drug information websites and patient forums, I also came across platforms like [dengyuemed](https://dengyuemed.github.io/), which provide background information, research updates, and general details about medications. Sometimes, for family members like us, simply having more information helps reduce the sense of panic.
I also truly want to thank two kind people who donated blood for my wife earlier.
At that time, she received several critical condition notices in a row. Without those blood transfusions, things might have been much worse. At least now, each time she passes through a critical moment, she’s still able to stabilize a little.
We will keep moving forward. Stay strong.
