          Thank you Celeste. I'm doing a little better. I got my nivo and xgeva yesterday. Not got a lot of my strength back so the first NIH visit is on hold until I get better. The nurse practitioner I saw yesterday also thinks I caught a virus or something so that is knocking me down too. Got the sore throat and cough going that I really haven't had since being on pd1. I'm walking ok some I just got to get strong again. Also ever since they changed me from keytruda to nivo on May 11 my ldh has been going up. So that might be part of it too but they won't switch me back yet. Something about too soon for insurance.

              Hey Artie,

              Glad you think you are a little better. It is frustrating to feel so bad for so long to say the least! Nivo certainly made me tired at times….that alone, combined with a virus, is yucky in and of itself!  Hope you get stronger every day. Hang in there! You are one awesome dude! C

                                        Hi Artie,

                                        Try and allow yourself the rest you need, and think of resting as actually taking action against the virus!  Hope you kick the virus real soon!  Like others have said, you are an inspiration to many of us out here.
