        We also just noticed a postscript for the analysis:
        "Blood hemolysis! The results may be unreliable."
        Did anyone have this? We will redo the analysis tomorrow.

          Forgot to mention: mama is 50 years old and overall healthy and active. LDH level is normal. Dont have any pains or other simptoms. Had COVID in november and managed it easily.

            Thank you very much for such a detailed answer! At first it seemed to us that a relapse after Opdivo drastically reduced the chances. But thanks to your answer and the help of other forum participants, I understand that everything is absolutely curable. Yesterday, our doctor also noted that both the suv and the size of the lesions are small – everything was caught at a very early stage, which improves the prognosis. We have a chance to get the first infusion in a week. I hope I can return to the forum soon with good scans from my mom 🙂

              Bless you! Thank you very much for your story! It is very similar to ours and gives hope. I translated it for my mother (she does not know English very well) – and this encouraged her very much. I wish you get NED as soon as possible 🙏

                Thank you very match! Definitely will study this videos) We had 10 months of nivo, then nothing for a year. I cant even call this a progression because we didnt have any mets on nivo and long after it.. I guess – something left untreated and started to spread when effect of nivo ended.  So its more of a recurrence a year after incomplete protocol of treatment?
