Hello everyone,

I just wanted to share some great news, to maybe bring hope and some positive news to this forum, I think we all need it…

My dad had his 6 month scan and he is almost NED… Almost because his biggest sub met has some low SUV uptake, but the doctor said its probably some 'repair' process, but can't say 100% NED, but close to it as possible…Everything else is completely gone… We feel so blessed…

He has been on Keytruda for 10 cycles and is doing great (some minor vitiligo on his face and some fatigue – not noticable in everyday activity, just when excercising or hiking)… No other side effects, which is great…

Anyway, keytruda is the first treatment he received after progressing to stage IV, so after seeing these amazing results we really have become believers…

We just hope the response is durable….

take care my friends and hope your chosen path delivers just as great results!

Love,

Patrisa
