I’m not sure of the size of the liver cancer… I will let you know.
The cancer in the kidney has not returned… that cancer did spread to his liver. The liver cancer had shrunk due to lenvima/keytruda treatment. It was then obliterated by radiation treatments.
He had to stop the lenvima due to elevated protein levels in his urine.
They “watch” other spots during the scans (every three months). These spots come and go and are attributed to the medications not new cancer. It has been a journey and we learn a little more by asking questions.
As far as side effects… he has some skin issues and itching.
He is very achy especially where he has suffered from arthritis. And tired… which comes and goes. I think he is most tired right after treatment and weirdly enough… the days leading up to treatment.
One thing we are trying to do is wear compression stockings on a regular basis. He has developed some skin cancer (unrelated) and it is adding to the itching.

Thank you very much for the info! I have a newly found small mass on my right kidney that was partially (5%) removed two years ago, and now a 9 mm spot on the liver. I haven’t been able to speak to the doctors about it yet, but it’s good to have read your comments before talking with them. Thank you again for sharing- we’ll be praying for great outcomes for your husband!
