Hi all,
Had 4th ipi injection a week ago
so far, it's a walk!
no adverse reaction apart from fatigue and occasionnal mumbling of the tummy
can't tell yet if response because tumors are all inside, not visible
last blood count indicates depleted red cells but that was due to previous treatments and new one :higher than normal eosinophil count. No idea what that means…Any info ?
