Scan stable again.

She remains on Keytruda.  She has been on it 17 months since her cancer returned as Stage 4
and over two years since her radical cystectomy.  Her main side effect is still fatigue. 

She still gets around fine and is self sufficient.  She was able to go on her trip to New York.  Next week Easter with family in La.  Next big milestone will be July for a trip home to see family.

Every day is a great day.  We will continue on this road as long as we can.



Thanks,

James

Hello,

Once gain been so busy forgot to come on here and update.  No news is good news.  As of the last scan three weeks ago, everything is stable-- still!  

She remains on Keytruda.  She has been on it 14 months since her cancer returned as Stage 4
and over two years since her radical cystectomy.  Her main side effect is still fatigue. 

She still gets around fine and is self sufficient.  She is looking forward to a trip in March to New York.  
So we will continue on this road as long as we can.

Sorry for the delay in updating.

Thanks,

James

I appreciate the first-hand reports of positive effects of treatment. "Stable" is the brass ring many of us hope to grab. "Self Sufficient" is a bonus.

Best to your wife, and to you.

Jack

Been so busy forgot to come on here and update.  No news is good news.  As of the last scan three weeks ago, everything is stable.

She remains on Keytruda.  She has been on it just about a year since the cancer returned as Stage 4.
Her main side effect is fatigue. 

She still gets around fine and is self sufficient.  She is looking forward to the holidays and a trip in March to New York.  
So we will continue on this road as long as we can.

Sorry for the delay in updating.

Thanks,

James
