Hi everyone.. well, I've been pretty down the last couple of months… had to be taken off the ipi/nivo trial due to side effects and a recurrence in a lymph node in my arm. Then came the news of nodules that grew in my lungs and failed lung biopsy to determine if it was metastatic.
Had full set of scans recently, CT, PET, MRI and was going to the surgeon for a chat about VAT to have the nodules removed. I'm fully thinking they have doubled or tripled since my last scan. In he comes and says, I won't be able to operate on you… you're nodules have shruken down to pre-treatment size and some are just specs now. The emotions, feeling and gratification are indescriable.
I keep on pinching myself… I feel like I'm in a dream.
It's not a cure, I still have to have scans every 3 months…, I'm having hormone issues (Pit/Thyroid). But, I lived another day… and I am thankful to all.
Thanks to all you that have followed and helped along the way. I'm not leaving. But, will keep posting and helping others as I can.

Wonderful news, Juan!! You are one of these peeps!!!!
This study out of ASCO reported that patients who had to stop the ipi/nivo combo early due to side effects showed an OS at 18 months that was the same as those who continued treatment! Way to rock it out!! Congrats, c
