When I had my 28th week scan from ipi, they noticed I had marginal growth of my lung mets (1-2mm). When my blood work was done at the end of January, my LDH was down 100 points (around 209) which is considered normal. How is this possible when my cancer has gotten a bit bigger but now my LDH is the lowest it's been since last November?? Half of me hopes that it's really inflammatio and the ipi is still working, but nobody even knows.

I just started ipi again last Friday, so let's hope this continues to work. I think there is a 30-40%,chance, but I don't think anybody knows how well the reinduction works. Luckily after a year, I still have lungs mets that are under 1cm and some that are just over 1cm. I also feel good knowing my absolute lymphocytes have been 1900 before I started my reinduction, so I hope this means good things on my immune system and helps to keep the brain mets from coming back.
