I just had a CT scan done this week, and it shows that after the five high radiation treatments to control bleeding and my continuing of Keytruda immunotherapy there has been no spread of the cancer. In addition, the tumor has shrunk in size, and I have experienced no bleeding or clots for the past 30 days which was shortly after the full series of high dose radiation treatments to stop bleeding. I have opted out of nephrectomy of the kidney that the tumor is in, which has been 15 months since diagnosis of the cancer and recommendation for surgery. Because of my age of 82 I did not want to go through the rigors of surgery. Since I had iron infusion in June and the bleeding from the tumor has been controlled I feel much better and have regained my strength. I had my fifth infusion of Keytruda today on my way to a total of 18, and so far side effects have been quite mild. For me even though treatment is palliative, I am thankful it allows me to enjoy whatever time I have left.
