Just got news today that the latest scans came in stable again!

She remains on Keytruda and has been on it 22 months since her cancer returned as Stage 4 in November 0f 2020.  She had her RC January of 2020.  

Her main side effect is still soreness/fatigue.  She does have a bump that feels soft near her elbow that they may do a biopsy on.  Will keep that posted if it occurs.  

She still gets around fine and is self sufficient.  Next big milestone will be her reunion with cousins in September.  Another holiday season is just around the corner.  

Every day is a great day.  She is not done fighting. We will continue on this road as long as we can.



Thanks,

James

Thanks so much for keeping us informed, James.  She is a real inspiration to many and I am so glad to hear that she is doing so well.

Had some low counts on blood since the last scans three months ago so she had a bone biopsy. All came out negative and her counts have improved slightly.

Just got news today that the latest scans came in stable again.

She remains on Keytruda and has been on it 20 months since her cancer returned as Stage 4 in November 0f 2020.  She had her RC January of 2020.

Her main side effect is still soreness/fatigue. 

She still gets around fine and is self sufficient.  Next big milestone will be July 4th as her family is coming to visit.

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



Thanks,

James
