      <p class=”p1″>Hi </p>
      <p class=”p1″>I’m sorry if it’s a repeat of what advice has been given before, because my latest update is so similar now to Jenny’s husbands story from a recent post!</p>
      <p class=”p1″>Bad news re latest scans, received on Friday . The recent change to immunotherapy treatment from nivo mono therapy to 4 doses of ipilimumab mono therapy, which I finished 2 weeks ago, hasn’t worked and the 5 existing brain tumours are now bigger and there are more in addition –</p>
      <p class=”p1″>“and the appearance of multiple new intracranial metastatic lesions especially in relation to the lepto meninges.”</p>
      <p class=”p1″>I’ve been started oral Temozolomide chemotherapy treatment yesterday morning. </p>
      <p class=”p1″>If that’s not successful then my oncologist will try enco/bini. Does that sound like the best course of action?  For those that remember my previous posts, I never did get the stereotactic radiotherapy I was after! My consultant is however agreeing to get a second opinion.</p>
      <p class=”p1″>I’m devastated!😞Any advice re what my options could be or positive feedback would be greatly appreciated 🥺🥺Xx</p>
