Hi all

Just back from seeing my oncologist. Good news just the met in my boob and a 2cm x 2cm patch on pelvis. I have called them pea and peanut after their sizes.

I am as fit as a flea fortunately and have been given a number of different treatments to choose from, so based on stats and oncologist advice we are going for pembro and lenvatinib combo if my insurance covers me.

Oncologist has said it will be hard going but the results should be worth it and he will zap the remainder of the mets with sabr if he needs to.

Denosumab on the cards after the first cycle to strengthen my bones and hopefully I should be back to work on 6 weeks depending on the side effects after a couple of pembrolizumab infusions.

Hope the rest of you are as well as can be xx

  • That's uncommon metastases you have there.  Good luck with the pembro/lenvatinib and let us know how you get on.  

  • Will do and I just have to be different!

    My lymph nodes are clear so the cancer must have been hanging around in my blood.

    If I hadn't have found the breast lump I would have been non the wiser.

  • Yeah, RCC is known as "the silent one" because many people don't get any symptoms so it's discovered as an incidental finding, frequently stage 4, whilst investigating something else.  Me and many more on here Raising hand

  • I had a radical nephrectomy nearly 5 years ago. The docs were running some tests whilst I was pregnant to work out why I'd had high BP since my early 20s. Had the ct scan after id recovered from my c section and lie and behold a tumour on my left kidney. No symptoms and if I hadn't have been pregnant no one would have k own it was there.

  • Hello everyone. Just had my first day of treatment and it seems to have gone well. Still feeling ok, but wondering if side effects are to come further down the line. I'm on a combination of Nivolumab and ipilimumab. Anyone had any experience of this combination? It's relatively new to Scunthorpe where I am receiving this treatment. In fact I believe I'm the first in Scunthorpe to get it. Any info would be appreciated. Wishing you all well with your respective treatments.      Erchie
