    Curious how others on the anti pd-1 trials are doing.  Does anyone have anything new to report?  Had my 6 mos. scans last week.  Spot in lung continues to shrink while one on my back is relatively stable.  Most importantly…nothing new anywhere else!  Hoping and praying for continued success for all in the fight.

        Hi

        I forgot to ask you if your response is typical like other patients??? What does your doctor tell you about the  responses (shrinkage,stable, clear of any cancer) of other patients.

        In the future, I hope to qualify for a PD1 trial so I am trying to learn all I can about the PD1 drug and how patients are responding.

        Good Luck with your next scans….wishing you NED!
