      In my case I had tumors in lymph node and one on the lung. After four treatments I had a ct scan, the tumors had been reduced by 60% I just had a ct/pet scan after 8 treatments and the radiologist reported NED. My side effects were rash, fatigue, and vitilgo.  Holding off on more treatments and see what the ct scan shows in 3-4 months.  Good luck on your journey.

      Thanks so much for the Links Ed.  Pretty sure I am going to withhold treatments and get a ct scan in 3-4 months. It seems as its different for each person. Family and friends can't hardly believe that I had such a complete response. Hoping the fatigue also subsides where I have the energy to do things again. Twenty years ago my daughter in law had a melanoma on her forearm.  Four months later she was gone!  Thank God for the research and treatments that are now available.
