      Just got the results from the scans for my mom, she was dx vaginal MM in Oct 2018 , Her scans remain the same from oct to today only with one lymph node going from 24mm to 18 mm , which i think is good, What does this look like ? Positive or negative ? FYI she has not been able to start any treatments yet. Feb 6 will be her first infusion ipi/pemb and aspirin infusion ( IF insurance approvals come by then )

      Lymphadenopathy: Right inguinal node measures 13 mm (previously 24 mm). Left inguinal node is stable at 8 mm. There is a similar right pelvic sidewall node measuring 11 mm. A stable left pelvic sidewall node measures 8 mm. 11 mm left external iliac node is stable as well.

          Stable or shrinking is ALWAYS a good thing!! Hopefully your mom can get started on immunotherapy on schedule!

          Health and happiness,

          Lauren
