Hello all:

It's been a tough 2 weeks. Pete had one week of radiation to his back for pain. The day after it finished he was overwhelmed with headache and vomiting. He was admitted to our local hospital and given an MRI. They had difficulty managing his pain and he was in hospital for 4 days. The MRI showed many new brain lesions. He is now home and begins whole brain radiation next week. He continues on the Ipi and has now had 2 infusions. His pain is now managed well. Happy Easter to you too.

  Yasmin, wishing you and your husband the best! Remember it takes time for Ipi to kick in so try to stay positive. I hope you have success with the whole brain radiation. Ed

  Thank God for pain management! Also, Celeste has a blog post about the abscopal effect of brain radiation and ipi: http://chaoticallypreciselifeloveandmelanoma.blogspot.com/2014/01/ipi-and-radiationa-good-combo-for.html. Hopefully your husband will have that effect too.
