Updating my Libtayo journey...had a pet scan yesterday after 3 treatments and nothing new showing. Doing my 4th infusion today and so far no negative reactions. I have plenty of energy and too good of an appetite! I'll have another scan in 3 months and continue on Libtayo for a year per my oncologist at Mayo. So thrilled with the excellent care that I receive there. Tempted to get it closer to home because its 2 hrs each way but don't want to risk lesser treatment locally. My first scan which was a local hospital was nowhere up to the quality of this recent one yesterday which shows much more detail and I also believe the interpreters are superior.

I would love to talk to your further about Libtayo. I have squamous cell cancer on my parotid gland that metastasized from a previous Mohs surgery on my eyebrow area. I have my second Libtayo infusion next Wed. My oncologist and surgeon are hoping that after 4 treatments my tumor will have shrunk so the surgery will have a better outcome. I am worried about facial paralysis if my facial nerve has to be sacrificed.
