Another Wednesday, another scan...

Stomps,   Sounds good overall the one big one can be dealt with in a number of potential ways.   Best wishes for continued success!

The PLAN

I'm going to carry on with Nivomulab, which mostly seems to be doing its job, and they are going to very aggressively zap my big lump (which seeing as its a Metastatic offspring from my original lump, which I named Darth, must be called luke). They are hoping not to damage my lungs or my heart, to which apparently Luke is close. They are hoping to annihilate Luke and they are dreaming that Luke in his despair and crisis will stimulate antibodies from all his little polyps which will then be attacked by the Nivolumab leaving me cancer free.

This is all pretty new and they are working in concert with other oncologists around the world to see if it will work. After my reaction to IL2 and other stuff, they said that I have "What we call quite a biology!" (a joke). Make of that what you will.

Another scan on Wednesday to fix an aim on Luke (a moving target) whilst avoiding my heart (another moving target). We start the treatment on the 29th.

Its all terribly exciting.

I've been to a conference about the new uses of sterotactic radiation and it having a more durable effect than simply beyond the zapping. GOOD LUCK!!! I have heard great things about this emerging use of radation. 

I was counting on the abscopal effect but my body had other plans. Go get'm stomps. How's the hip?

Hip

Itchy! Unless I cough or sneeze at which point the pain literally throws me across the room. Splendid scar tho'!

Yikes, Footstomper -- !

Hope when you do that, you are wearing your extra-padded lounge-wear.  That's some kind of LOCO-motion !
