        Thanks for the latest update and breakdown Celeste! This Friday marks 3 years out since my last Keytruda infusion. Although I didn’t have Ipi in combo with it, I did have all 4 rounds of Ipi in 2013, followed by the Keytruda from late 2014-2016. There were a whooooooole lotta brain lesions that cropped up during the “in-between” of the two immuno drugs. I had/have some fabulous docs who got innovative with ideas and care. As you mentioned, I’m not sure I like the numbers for efficacy of the combo alone for intercranial treatment. I’d still book a run through gamma again. But then, I’m not much of a “let’s wait and see” kind of person. ;-p
