Hi Everyone., and To All Those That Have Responded to My Previous Texts,

Thank you from the bottom, top, and all possible sides of my heart and soul.

I haven’t been on the board in a while, but I just wanted to let you all know that my husband had his first CT scan (head to toe) since his tumor removal in his parotid (salivary) gland last July, and the results showed no evidence of any spread!!!!! We are delighted. Really happy. I am so grateful for all your prayers and help and support and advice and for always being there for me. He is still on adjuvant immunotherapy of NIVO, but because of the Covid-19 virus spread here in Ireland and a very underfunded health system, his dose has been doubled in order for him to go to hospital only once a month instead of every two weeks. That is the norm in the US so we’re OK with the change, as it will decrease the risk of him coming into contact with people that may be carrying coronavirus.

Again, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. May God listen to all my prayers and keep you safe and strong in this battle against melanoma.

With lots of love,
Affected

  Great news indeed. Happy St. Patrick’s Day too, good day to celebrate in Ireland, but probably at home this year. My mother was an O’Brien 🙂 I will be watching the live stream tonight of the Dropkick Murphy’s concert 🙂
