      I met with my doctor at MD Anderson. Good news! My scans are stable (after 3 ipi/nivo infusions, 1 ipi infusion, 5 nivo infusions). There's a really good chance that anything still showing in the liver is just scar tissue.  They are going to ultrasound a spot I feel on my chest to be safe – it's kind of covered by my port on the scans. My thyroid is also super out of whack because of the meds, which explains my fatigue and weight gain. I'll go on meds for the thyroid. But overall, AWESOME news!

                That sounds great.  Congrats.  I'm sure after you get hooked up with a good endocrinologist you'll get back to feeling better in no time.

                            Sorry for the endocrine side effects, but Brian is right…a good endocrinologist can set that right!  Major congrats on your response! That's great! Celeste
