I recently had scans to see if my treatment opdivo/yervoy is working. Prior to treatment I had nodules in both lungs lesion in groin liver and two large lesions on T spine and L spine. My scan showed my lungs were all clear and my groin was clear of metastatic disease. Lesions remain in my liver however they are smaller and the lesions on my spine show no change or growth. Thank you all for all your thoughts and prayers. |

Treatment
Mark from what I understand I will continue on Opdivo every three weeks. I had a treatment on Monday of just the Opdivo. I have been feeling pretty rough. I had scans last week I was given IV and oral contrast. Also injected with nuclear medicine for bone scan. I wonder if my body is just reacting to all the junk it's been injected with.

I hope that is the case. It is rough to get all of those things injected in your body - hopefully you start feeling better soon. I just got my final combo infusion. Scans end of August.

I contacted my oncologist
I contacted my oncologist because I haven't felt to great since my last treatment. She explained that I'm getting a higher dose of the Opdivo so that could be why I was having increased side effects. She said I can get the higher dose every three weeks. I haven't had much of an appetite however I'm feeling better today. My body took time to adjust to my first combo treatments hopefully this will pass as well. I will keep you in my prayers hoping your scans show good results.

As of now they are only advising the Opdivo/yervoy treatment. I pray that eventually my scans would show NED but for now I'm pleased with my results so far. I'm happy knowing my situation is improving. Hoping my next scans show even more improvement. JoeyZ thank you for thinking of me. All the support and prayers are so appreciated.

Really good news
Amy-Jo,
Excellent news that the immunotherapy seems to be helping. It takes time, and the liver lessions may just need a little longer than the lung nodules to fully respond.
I am delighted that we can be having discussions like this about the efficacy of these new drugs.
Hope you get to full CR in coming months.
Best wishes,
Fred
