    Hi all. I had my first PET since beginning Keytruda (3 treatments down) and results are very encouraging! I currently have one positive lymph node in my right armpit. The node has remained the same size, but shows increased activity, which my oncologist says indicates that the “battle is on” between the melanoma and my immune system. No new spots anywhere! We will continue with keytruda every 3 weeks (#4 is today) and re-scan at the end of February to check progress.

    Battle on, warriors!
