Thanks Rose

    Hi

    I didn't have the double dose but the single dose was easy with no side effects.

    It has reduced the original tumour by 1 cm and I am told there are signs of necrosis.

    i took my last cycle in October 1918

    My husband has started this 4 weeks ago. Are you mid treatment ? How’s it going?

    Hi

    Not much has changed. i was in hospital for 4/5 months following complications after the operation on my back.  So no more Opdivo I had a MRI last month and a ct scan yesterday. i should get the results first two weeks in September.

    The little onc said that Opdivo stays in your body for six months and I think that is responsible for the reduction and necrosis in my primary tumour.

    At the last meeting the talk was of moving me on to another tablet but I forget the name.Anything that effects the primary is fantastic news so I hope your husband has a similar outcome.
