      Finished my last infusion for my clinical trial: either opdivo alone or opdivo&yervoy.  Lost count, but I think it was 25 infusions.  Last scan was clean, thank goodness.  Next scan is 3 months.  Got to say, I'll be missing my regular infusion-security-blanket a bit, but I'll feel great if the next unaided one comes back clean also.  Only semi-serious side effect has been shortness of breath, and I'll be interested to see (and hoping) that that fades as I stop the treatments.  Too cold and slippery to run outside in Minneapolis right now anyway.  Wishing us all luck.
