    After four Keytruda treatment, I had my CT scan. The results:

    1. Slightly improved metastic disease.

    2. There could be a new focus of a tumor in the left axillary region. (Had two nodes removed at the end of October).

    3. Otherwise no convincing new metastic diease.

    Taken as a whole….this is good new for me.

      After 4 I'd take that too Nick.  Congrats.  Hope this is just the start of more good scans to come.

      I'll have a better idea of where I stand after I meet with my OC on Friday. Also, I have not experienced  any side effects. Hope you all are doing okay.

        Please let us know how it goes on Friday when you get a chance Nick! I'd like to hear more about your experience with Keytruda so far when you have some time.

        Best,

        Tex
