        One year since treatment for my husband ( opdivo/yervoy) stopped after side effects were too much (made it through three). Scans since then (every three months) have been showing size reduction of tumors.  The latest scan shows nearly resolved left adrenal and resolved right adrenal metastasis.  But it also shows: Four new pulmonary nodules

      . These may represent pulmonary metastases. Granulomatius/infectious process could be considered but would be less likely. Consider short-term follow-up.

        I am feeling perplexed as to how some tumors  have shrunk but yet new ones seem to be coming along. Like all of you here–I just want this disease to go away. It seems like we had a few months of positivity and now discouragement is seeping in once again. 

        Dr. recommended a scan in three months. 

        No real question here–just needed to let others know that understand what this new life is like.

      Thanks to all that post words of wisdom and encouragement to us all.  We are blessed by you even though we don't really "know" you…..you keep us going.
