    I like Danceskater am at a loss for words

    After reading this i felt empty.. I wanted to cry.... We all pray for you. Its just came as a shock reading this and realizing that the disease is a reminder of our fragility.

    But the good thing is our will to fight and knowing the effort we are willing to put forth. 

    God bless

    Thank you, All!! I can feel the energy. We are all connected. This week I start radiation. And Opdivo will be the drug of choice. I'm positive and hopeful. I think I will be fatigued but with your responses and outpouring of concern and love, I will update any good happenings. Stay strong x

    Don't despair (I know, easier

    Don't despair (I know, easier said....) My friend has been stage 4 cancer for years now.  She started with breast cancer of one type and through she was home free with that.  Years later, another type of breast cancer attacked her.  It spread to her stomach and spine.  Whatever treatment regime she is on is working.  Prayers going up for you.

    Curly,

    Curlyn,

    As I write this I am sitting at the Cancer Center with my husband who has just started Opdivo.

    His cancer spread to his lungs.  In September he was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma HPV+, 5 cm base of tongue.

    The usual radiation / cisplatin. First post PET, lung nodules.  We were hopeful like Ok native that an inffection was there.  Not.  It was  and came back scc.

    I feel for you and my husband but feel very optimistic about Opdivo.

    God bless, good luck and I will update on his experience and mostly prognosis to rid of this beast.

    Hope

    Recurrence is such a horrible condition. We all, willing nor not, fear it in the back of our brains. The good thing is it is 2018 and new therapies are showing promise and results in battling cancer. You are strong and focused, you will get through this as others have too. Best to you.
