Thank you for your inquiry @lifetraveler . I had over 2 years on Libtayo infusions with decreasing frequency after my metastasis on the kidney disappeared on this drug. My oncologist suggested stopping it last April due to the poor appetite and tiredness side effects. Scans were still clear last July and I am returning to Mayo next week for 6 month scans and recheck. I feel pretty good in this new normal.

I believe cancer patients have both genetic and environmental factors in this disease process. There are many lifestyle changes that my cancer brought about. Diet is certainly the biggest one. There is a book that I loved so much that I bought it for every family member. Written by Dr. Ed Creagan, a Mayo palliative care doctor, the title is How Not to be My Patient. I reread this book frequently to keep all of his suggestions fresh in my mind. I recommend it to anyone who wants to do what they can to live a healthier life, but most especially cancer patients.
Good luck with this new cancer battle. I think you would enjoy this book to help you feel you are doing everything possible to improve your health.
