We finally reviewed his brain MRI results: NED!! No evidence of disease!!! I think even our doctor was a bit astonished by these results. Of course, he’s not out of danger yet. He’s still got a long road ahead of him but today is a good day and we are thrilled. The plan is to start him on Opdivo only next week then…Read more

Well good news today in that his body CT showed a pretty dramatic shrinking of tumors in his lungs. Of course, we won’t know the outlook on his brain until the MRI results come in. Now he’s also got inflammation in his ears – over a month after his infusion. I guess that might be a good sign?

His drs haven’t ruled…Read more

That’s helpful. Yes he’s working with a medical oncologist at Fred Hutch/Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. She’s a melanoma specialist and has co-authored a paper on the efficacy of lower dosing on the Opdivo/Yervoy. So we do have a high level of trust with her. I just wanted to share with him some examples of one dose working. They…Read more

I’m so happy for you that your recent scan showed NED. It’s helpful to hear your journey. Hopefully they won’t need to return to the double dose but it’s nice to hear that may be an option again further down the line. Thanks for responding!

My husband had his first dose of opdivo and yervoy last month for stage 4 in his brain and lungs. He had such a strong response that his doctor said it’s unusual to see this strong of a response on just the first dose. So his team has paused him for now but then the plan next month is to start him back on only one of those drugs. They s…Read more
