      Hi ya’all, well, lets see here in the next few days what the Yervoy & Opdivo has done for me, God please let these newer meds be my “key”, my combonation of sorts to all this nonsense! Iv never held my breath for a NED report, im happy to see tumors just shrink or not do anything at all!! Keytruda worked on a few Tumors months back but, nowhere near what it should have after 7 bags…
      My Scan Tech & i browsed through the footage as best we could, i was kinda worried about my neck like i had expressed earlier, nothing really jumped out at us but, with all due respect, the CT,MRI, PET readers/decipher’rs have software that breaks them down to specific images so, maybe i am holding my breath! Lol…
      Ill keep you posted..love ya guys..

          I have been thinking of you and wishing you peace while you wait for results.

            Hi Mike!! 

            Glad to hear your scans are over and hopefully you get awesome news in the days to come. 

            My son had his 9th Nivo dose today…..he will be going for scans in a few weeks the doctor said today.  He has not had any scans since a PETSCAN in March…that’s when he was first diagnosed and the journey began.  Nivo adjuvant therapy is such a blessing that it is available to him at Stage 3a, but the only way to know if it’s working  is to find out it is not working…and that is not the results we want to hear.  I definitely understand the scan anxiety now……I’m completely on edge over it and we still have weeks to go. 

            Hang in there!!!! Fingers crossed for good news with your next post!!!!!  

            Kelly 🙂

                  Hi Mike.  I'm hoping your scans look good.  When do you get your results?  Try to remember to breathe before you pass out.  Little joke there but I"m not very good at humor.  The waiting is the worst.  

                  Good wishes to you

                  Jennifer
