    Jess has been doing so well since we found out that the tumor was shrinking, however it's still big 11cm. She gets a PET next Thursday to see how much of that is actual cancer. She's been having pain again though and I'm worried. Same tumor pain as before. 🙁 could this mean it's growing again or normal after Yervoy?

      Difficult to say as far as I know. Since her ldh dropped so dramatically that's a great sign yervoy is working plus it shrank some cm so definite proof it's working. I would highly doubt after experiencing such a immune response that it would then start growing again so soon. But others might know better than I.

        Thanks Artie, I hope so. I guess we will have to wait a couple more weeks to know. :/ that's the hardest part!
