          I think that I would like to try immunotherapy too. I am a worrier and I think I would just constantly worry if I didn’t at least try something to keep it from coming back. What happened with your thyroid?

            18 months out is great! I hope it continues for you! Thanks for your prayers! I want to make the best decision about treatment.

              That sounds very doable. How often will you have blood work and scans?

                Thanks for sharing that info! It’s a lot to take in. I feel like I would like to seriously consider adjuvant treatment. I’m not sure I could stand just waiting….feeling like a time bomb, but if I did some treatment, I would at least feel like I had done everything I could to prevent it from coming back. That phrase…until you reach toxicity…..freaks me out a bit! Lol….I picture someone getting their arm twisted until they cry UNCLE! I do need to continue to work! I have my scan Thursday and the I’ll get my oncologist appointment. I’m interested to see what they recommend. Thanks so much for sharing info!

                  I also want to be aggressive. Have you had side effects from Opdivo? How often do you get it and how long is your treatment plan?

                    Thanks Ed. I’ll take a look at the ONclive site. I do know that they are testing for Braf. You listed great questions that I hadn’t thought of. Thanks so much!
