      No he wasn't on anything except the low dose steroids that they were weening him off of.  If he has to do gamma again I will definitely be asking for it.

      I'll have to check into the driving thing.  Thanks for letting me know!

      He's supposed to be starting Keytruda soon.  We have an appt with the oncologist next Monday.  That will be 4 weeks of getting the Interferon out of his system.  That stuff was brutal on him. 

      Still waiting to talk to the neurologist here to find out what's going to happen when he gets out of the hospital.  Had gamma knife in Pittsburgh so I'm hoping they contacted the dr there as well.  If not I will be calling them.  Not taking any chances with this.

      Yes he will start Keytruda after the interferon gets out of his system. We're still waiting for a pet scan to be scheduled as well since these lesions appeared out of nowhere. His last one was in June and was clear. He'll be having the gamma knife treatment next Friday morning in Pittsburgh.
