I hope all had a great Easter! Well 5th infusion today! CT scan shows aortic lymph node tumors,and tumors in lungs are gone! Liver tumor less than half! KEYTRUDA is working for me. Of course side effects of sore joints, but Excedrin and lidocaine cream helps a ton! Doc will keep giving me transfusions unless side effects get worse. But today I had a win so I'm great!
