Monday going for the first scan after 4 clinical trial infusions. 2 months worth. Anyone who was involved with the Opvido trial see results after 4 infusions?

    Early results

    Don't expect too much.  My own early results were stable - no growth but no diminishment.  Got a lot better after that.  Best wishes.

    Scan

    I was shocked yesterdy when I got the results from my first scan. Stable. With one exception. The largest in my right lung shrank 60%. I almost fell off the chair!

    Falling off a chair never felt so good, right?

    Glad you are seeing results.

    Awesome

    I'm a few months into a trial that also pairs Nivolumab with another drug. I'd love to see some similar results in the near future.

    You have my best wishes.
