Thank you @colleenyoung Yes. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 colorectal cancer in October 2023, with mets to the liver and several lymph nodes. I had no previous history of cancer. I’m doing well. After the Ileostomy in November 2023, my quality of life improved dramatically. I’ve been on first-line Nivolumab (Opdivo) plus Ipilimumab (Yervoy) immunotherapy treatment since November 2023. My last PET/CT scan, in September, showed “no current PET/CT evidence of hypermetabolic malignancy,” and my oncologist said she considers this a “complete response” (to the immunotherapy). I have another PET/CT scan next week and am hoping that the positive results continue.
