Incredible news. Wishing you the best!
good luck Bleu, praying for youHere we are, again...
I had the scan to follow up on the radiation done at the end of last year. The nodule we attacked before is much smaller and has all of the signs of being radiated properly. It takes a while for radiated tumors to be completed mitigated.
There is another pea-sized nodule that has been on the scans for a while but now is a little bit more bulbous than it was before. It is on the edge of the left lung and appears to be attached to the same rib where we had tumors before.
Today we will be talking to the radiation oncologist. The discussion there will be to determine if we can do radiation again, based on the location of the nodule and previous radiation doses received. All of my doctors will have a pow-wow prior to that appointment.
If radiation is not recommended then we will discuss starting treatment with Opdivo or Libtayo. Keep in mind that the tumors so far have all been skin cancer, not lung cancer, so infusion decisions will be based on that.
I don’t what I am going to say next to sound flippant so please read it in the spirit of the words...
This will be OK. I will be OK. This is something that we’ve all known could be a possibility, that I will likely have something going on where cancer is concerned for the rest of my life. The plan is the same - we will attack the problem just as we’ve done right up until this point!
