Title: These Past Six Weeks!
Post by: Ken on May 31, 2021, 12:52:06 PM
These past 6 weeks have been spent starting and adjusting to a whole new adventure!  laughing7
Turns out that no amount of adjusting to the dosage of my chemo drugs was slowing down the spread of the cancers in my lungs, so we've started an IV treatment regimen using Nivolumab (OPDIVO IV).

So far, after receiving three treatments, the process seems to be going OK, but we'll only know for sure if this IV drug is helping when we do the next scan. (July???)

... forgot to mention that the first three treatments came at two week intervals and will change to once a month now.
