    Hay Folks, just checkin in to give the latest,  I met "Again" with my surgeon {surgery set for 12/17/18 for removal of right lower lobe of lung}  and he ordered another CT scan of chest {inwhich i did last night!} to see if theres any changes, he did throw out there that, "If" the one 5.4cm Mel Monster has shrank since my last CT, he may put the brakes on Decembers surgery! that would be ok by me Beeeelieve Me! so, lets hope that the Opdivo has finally broken the Monsters "morale" & that he has "Given Up" & now shrinking cuz since iv started Immunal Warfare back in Novemeber of 2017, the bastard has "defied" everything thrown at him, he just keeps growing…Take care guys, hope you all are doing good and atleast stable…

      Thanks for the update Mike!  Hope it turns out as you wish.  If not – carve the little f***er out and be done with him!
