          Glad to hear they got you back on Nivo and you are not going to have to wait until after surgery! Sounds like you have a great plan in place.

              Good luck, Mike! I’ve always admired your fighting spirit and good cheer. They say that Hemingway said that courage is grace under pressure, or something like that. Anyway, you’ve got it in spades. Wishing you the best — you’ve got this!!!

                That's awesome.  I'm hoping to start my second round of Nivo in a couple weeks.
