He's stage 4 ge-junction with metastasis to liver. He's had 2 CTs since he started infusions. Both showed liver tumors shrinking and first showed lymph nodes shrinking with 2d stable.
His primary issue has been a reaction to the nivolumab. He had itching and a rash over his ENTIRE body that is just now getting under control. Sigh!
Good luck to you

I will add him to prayers! The liver is where it usually goes first. I am glad its shrinking! Do they have him take benedryl before chemo or in conjunction with? I had a hotflash come on with the new part and they administered antinausea medicine and it counteracted that. Weird how stuff does that. The first time I had the Ox they had to give me benedryl because I was reacting weird, and they had to second time it didn’t work to keep it at bay and I had the breathing episode. I also got awful yeast infections and nose bleeds. That was the florauracil part. My face with this new one makes me break out with white pimples all over my face like a teen at its worst stage! Chemo kills the good with the bad! But I will take it!
