Hi Everyone,
We want to share our good news with all the warriors who have supported us through this amazing forum.
My husband, Jacques, had treatment with Z back in January – which helped but very shortly developed Stevens Johnson. Then followed treatment with Yervoy in March – after two infusions had to stop because tumors were growing exponentiallySpent 6 weeks without treatment – the longest weeks ever!
June 7th he started MK 3475, Scans of targeted tumors in May 10th showed: liver the biggest at 5.9 cm x 7.0 cm, another one at 3.9 cm x 4.8 cm, lung tumors were at 2.1 cm x 1.8 cm, and 1.9 cm x 1.8 cm, and many other ones. By August 27th CT scan (12 weeks) all of them showed a 73-85% reduction!!! Treatment center even repeated the CT scans 4 wks later and still showed more reduction
We are super delighted, excited, and are so encourage that we are going to beat this beast! (well at least hoping to)
Jacques has come around from no walking, no talking, and sleeping all day … to having our first hike this past Sunday, and going swimming in the ocean on Monday.
Take care all of you, keep praying, never give up!
Elenise & Jacques

Thank you everyone, you can not imagine how much have you help with your post, comments, responses, and unconditional support that is why we wanted to share our good news that we hope will be for many other ones new news.
Like my daughter said 'It is insane' how fast he is recovering, and we are loving it.
Like so many of you have said, keep fighting, and hopefully the light will show soon.
Peace and love to all of you,
Elenise

I also have stage 4 and just had the pleasure to meet Jacques, it seem we both have the same Oncologist and we had an opportunity to talk on the phone earlier during the week I’m hoping we will be able to help support each other. It was really a great pleasure today to spend time with Jacques I look forward to more time together and it great to hear his great news.
My best goes out to the both of you. -
