Hi ya, VickiLurk………….**smile**
The trouble with IPI is that , if it is going to work, it takes a long time to tell and that is frustrating.
Now, what about the lung lesions.
They are bilateral? Both lungs and what size and how many?
Are any of them operative?
Are you symptomatic in any way? Coughing, trouble breathing, congestion, shortness of breath?
Oh yeah………………..and who won the World Series in 1939?
Just kidding, sorry for the questions.
I did ipilimumab a few times and was not impressed; then again I am not easily impressed. Did not work for a lung met.
Ended up having a wedge dissection in my right lung. That worked.
Well (sigh) for a bit; anyway after several attempts of living better through chemistry in many ways (IL2) the drug dealer hit me up with Keytruda.
So far, after shooting up four times my body is not driving me crazy.
I have personal experience with MDA and they are great.
But juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust as a consideration, outside of surgery what is the argument not to try Keytruda right now.
If it works, it can show results in 60 days or less.
I do not know whether doing Keytruda colors the trial enrollment you are speaking of.
It is fair to say though that Keytruda alone is working for some; no not all, but NO treatment is.
Just thinking outloud.
I live by myself so the noise doesn't bother me.
I wish you well.
Cheers,
Charlie
