Bio

I have Stage 4 and they have stopped the infusions because I got auto-immune hepatitis from the Yervoy/Opdivo combo that almost resulted in liver failure. Very scared as no next step has been taken. Last Petscan in November showed a little growth in 2 tumors. As my 1st line of treatement was the Tafinlar/Mekinist and it stopped “working” after 17 months. Now I am in a Holding pattern.
