    Hey Warriors,

    I completed round 8 of Pembro yesterday and no noticeable side effects as of today. It seems to be getting smoother as I go, no problems with labs and in fact they have all remained within normal limits for the past 4 treatments. If it weren't for the surgery recovery I'd be good to go today!

    I hope all of you are fighting the good fight. As always, thanks for being there and for the support! 

    Tex

      That is amazing Tex, congrats.

      If that isn't a nice response to treatment then I don't know what is. This stuff is kicking my ass but it's kicking the cancer's ass too so I'll try not to complain or feel too jealous. lol. But for real, congratulations, that is so cool. This is one amazing drug and it's so crazy how just like cancer you just don't know how it's going to effect someone. It's all just so unpredictable. Anyways, keep up the good fight as well and I hope it continues to go easy on you, the cancer is tough enough.
