in Kidney Cancer #1

I've been on Nivomulab since January. Love it! No side effects worth talking about (aint I lucky?). Last time they looked, in March the tumours had reduced in size.

I'm getting superstitious. No side effects and tumour reduction sounds too good to be true. Not that I'd be complaining or anything.

Best thing is, after doing this for so many years I dont even get scanxiety.

Not me, not at all.

I mean...What have I got to worry about?

so no anxiety

no anxiety

at all

    Easy going is nice

    We were in Seattle doing a clinical trial.  I was scanned every 7th week.  I had zero side effects and reduction with every scan.  The lack of sides was the amazing part I guess.  The Doctor told us ' If I didn't know better I'd say we were treating you with tap water.'

    Enjoy it all Foots!

    P.S.

    I might have been not entirely truthful about the scanxiety.

    Every ache or pain, cough or snivel feels like the cold breath of the grim reaper on my neck as I get closer to the scan.

    Still, you've got to laugh, havent you?

    Right there with you this week

    I got all my 4 month scans this  Monday, but I got a different kind of anxiety, its called DMV anxiety, its when you have to go to the tag/title office and try to get a title for a 48 year old motorcycle that the title was signed/dated by the previous owner in 1968 and I have no bill of sale. It will be interesting to see if the clerk at the DMV catches that I would have only been 10 years old in 1968 where my signature on the title is.

    But  seriously, good luck to both of us this week on whats really important.

    1968 XLH Harley Sportster, I have 1967 xlch sportster and a 1969 xlh sportster, so I thought it was only fitting to fill the void in years with a 68 model, funny how my wife doesnt see the same need as I do. Good luck this week.

    Foots,  Best of luck with the scans!  I am meeting a new oncologist this week after my move to the sunshine state... Scans not far behind.  Positive thoughts headed your way.

    I do not like green dye and scans, I do not like them in a lab, I do not like them in a cab.  

    Very Seussian of you, Stomps!
