      I received my last petscan results.

      " Stable PET/CT scan without any evidence for residual/recuttent metastatic malignanc.  There are no new findings noted."

      WOW!!  Does this mean I am NED?? 

      He said i am still Stage 4.

      First starting getting tested approx. 1/2 yr ago.  Lung mass, tumors in groin, chest, armpit, by pancreas, lower back.  Ahd they are not immieasurable according to precious scan.

      Jan 2018 after 5 months of prednisone to brink liver numbers back to normal he put me on 1mg of Prednisone.  I asked what success rate he has seen.  He said "you are the first!"  So he is please with the findings with 1mg Opdivo.  Will continue treatment.

      I am a believer and am thankful for all the prayers from my friends, their churches, Bible studies etc.

      Thankful for this forum for help and glad to give news back!

      Sharon
