        We also just noticed a postscript for the analysis:
        "Blood hemolysis! The results may be unreliable."
        Did anyone have this? We will redo the analysis tomorrow.

            Thank you very much for such a detailed answer! At first it seemed to us that a relapse after Opdivo drastically reduced the chances. But thanks to your answer and the help of other forum participants, I understand that everything is absolutely curable. Yesterday, our doctor also noted that both the suv and the size of the lesions are small – everything was caught at a very early stage, which improves the prognosis. We have a chance to get the first infusion in a week. I hope I can return to the forum soon with good scans from my mom 🙂

              Bless you! Thank you very much for your story! It is very similar to ours and gives hope. I translated it for my mother (she does not know English very well) – and this encouraged her very much. I wish you get NED as soon as possible 🙏

                Thank you very match! Definitely will study this videos) We had 10 months of nivo, then nothing for a year. I cant even call this a progression because we didnt have any mets on nivo and long after it.. I guess – something left untreated and started to spread when effect of nivo ended.  So its more of a recurrence a year after incomplete protocol of treatment?
