MRI shows 6 more spots. The original 4mm spot was treated with radiation and showed raditation had done its job. The PET scan showed very little to no results so far on the original tumors. The PET scan showed more tumors in several areas under the skin which we noticed. Did not show any addtional on organs. The onc and raditation specialist meet and decided to treat the brain with WBR. Concerns were that before IPI might help the brain that she would get effects from the spots growing in the brain area. The WBR is scedule to starat the 22nd for 10 days.

Not wanting to stop a systemic treatment they are going to start a small dose of Temodar during the WBR. The onc states next step is the anti PD-1 once completed with WBR. The doctors treating my wife at MOffit are Dr. Kudchadkar and Dr. Rao. She still is much more tired and/or fatigued during the day. She is also having sever gas which the doctor says is probably a side effect of the IPI. Any thoughts or concerns with the WBR and Temodar? Once you feel comfortable with your team of doctors, I guess you must always trust their plans of attack.
