Jackie had her 4th Yervoy infusion 84 days or 12 weeks to the day from her first Yervoy infusion. Had to delay the 4th treatment while Jackie completed a round of antibiotics for pneumonia. As usual, Jackie has had a lot of fatigue. Had nausea too that was treatable with anti-nausea meds. Next oncology appointment is in 10 days. Expect to get the next PET/CT scan scheduled soon to compare with the last scan done in January prior to the first Yervoy infusion.

Expect to get the next PET/CT scan scheduled soon to compare with the last scan done in January prior to the first Yervoy infusion. Hoping and praying that the melanoma tumors in Jackie's left axial lymph nodes, lungs, and liver have responded well to the Yervoy treatment. We're coming up on six months since Jackie's stage 4 diagnosis. We're counting down the days to our 20th wedding anniversary. We will be renewing our wedding vows with friends and family on June 9th at our home church.
Thanks,
Bruce and Jackie

I hope Yervoy works as good for Jackie as it is for my husband and that your celebration in June will be two fold.
