My scans are fine, blood work fine…had my treatment…here is the skinny I will share…
Saw Dr Weber and he thinks my rash/hives on my hands and soft parts of my feet of
probably side effects from Anti-PD-1. It has been there since mid December.
He says I am doing fantastic and would hate for me to stop…I told him I
can live with it…but so far my hands and feet have NOT gotten worse since
my infusion today, so I am hoping it is NOT related!
….in my trial it is required to be NED ( no evidence of disease)
which could be by chemotherapy, surgery or immunotherapy or radiation.
Some who enter the trial start right out of surgery and such, so their NED
is somewhat questionable, if you know what I mean. Anyways, 29 people
are/were enrolled. 2 progressed and died of brain mets.
1 progressed and was put on another immunotherapy and is again NED. 1
progressed ( and this is the kicker….he now experienced spontaneous
REGRESSION of his melanoma! 25 remain stable and NED.
This is week 72 of my Anti-PD-1/vaccine trial (MDX 1106)
