Nivolumab-Sutent update

Hi everyone, I have have not been posting a whole lot lately, but have been lurking quite a bit.

A little history:

Oct 2012 right kisney removed

Feb 2013 Nivolumab-Sutent trial 2.8 cm adrenal tumor

Oct 2013 stopped Sutent with only scar tissue on gland, continued Nivo infusions

Jan 2013 - NED, continued Nivo infusions

April 2014 6mm lung met, restarted Sutent combo

Today, June 6 scan reduced to 2mm after 6 week cycle if 37.5

Great news that the Sutent seems to help "turn on" the Nivolumab.

Stay well all!!!

-Darron
