      I met with my docs at MD Anderson today to hear about my scans from yesterday. I made it through 3 of the 4 dual infusions (Yervoy & Opdivo). I got really sick and they took me out of the trial a few weeks ago. 

       
      However…..it was all super good news today! 

       
      I saw my dermatologist first – no new moles, etc. Actually, some of the moles on my body shrunk/lightened. 
       
      Then I saw my melanoma specialist. All of the random tumors on my body are gone. My liver lesions have shrunk dramatically – I'd say, by looking at the pictures, by 80-90%. It was amazing to see!!!!!!!!!!!!!
       
      Tonight I had a Yervoy infusion. Not the combo, just the Yervoy alone. We are leaving Texas this weekend and I'll start the Opdivo back in ND in 3 weeks. (My 2 year old is excited to sleep in her 'purple room.')
       
      Ever since I found a mass in my groin at 20 weeks pregnant last July, I've received bad news from all my biopsies and scans. It feels great to get positive news! We are super happy tonight. 😀
