Got some really good news from my oncologist today. I had a scan a couple of weeks ago, 3 months after my liver ablation procedure. The scan found no signs of cancer. In some ways I am finding it hard to believe this as I have been through a couple of years of treatment and side effect hell to get to this point, including a previous failed ablation, and a serious immunotherapy related adverse event that damaged my kidneys, thyroid and lungs, which I am still not fully recovered from. There have been significant impacts to my energy levels and general mobility too. There’s obviously no knowing how long this will last but it’s time to try to work on my fitness and general capacity. I have also been cleared to come off the steroids I have been weaning down since the IRAE last September.
Currently on holiday in Sicily, will post a longer update on my blog when I get a chance.
Congratulations Codfish!! Well it’s a rollercoaster ride with these cancer treatments.. have a beautiful relaxing holiday and enjoy the moment
Still awaiting PD L biopsy result to see if immunotherapy next on the list for me. 2 months on tenterhooks since biopsy, oncologist tells me it’s complicated…ha incompetent I’d say!
Great news to hear that it’s achieving great results and you’re living life to the full x
PD L finally came back negative. A full house of negativity along with mTNBC, I wasn’t too surprised. Scan in a fortnight to see if Gemcarbo working. I’m hoping so, managing to tolerate it. I’m anemic and liver results high but liver seem to improve greatly on my week off.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
