Amy, hold on

I have seen, me included, people who went from the "We got it all" to having 20 mets in only weeks. It seems the mets were always there like seeds. The primary tumor (mother ship)  restrains them from growth at this sage. With the primary tumor re moved, the secondary tumors grow un restricted. Bam! out of control.

There is good news. And it worked for me. The tumors exhibited that they were controlled by some chemical signal. It made me a good candidate for both immunotherapies and tki's.I've had to change drugs every so often, but I  am working on my 8th year now. It is much better than my summer 2012 life expectancy.

And radiation has done wonders in eliminating bone met pain.

Enter your treatments believing you can do this because so many of us have done it. Pull from our karma.

I was started on opdivo and yervoy. My attitude is positive even though my energy level is low. I'm still trying to be me and that's an active mom of 4.
