Hope this might be helpful? Having had many surgeries and chemo ( cusplstin and entopside) my B3 stage 4 showed little reduction. Now on a trial of Opdivo and after four cycles showing up to 25% reduction and they side effects have been manageable to date. Nick

Thanks Nick! Great info. My huddy did have cisplatin and entopside during the 1st chemo. it shrank one tumour and made the other one dormant. The 2nd time round, they used cisplatin and another drug, but it damaged his hearing so they changed to carboplatin. The 2nd chemo didn't work, despite they gave him the full dose and use a white blood cell booster during the treatment.

I'm so sorry to hear your multiple surgeries and chemo. It must be very hard going through all that. May I know what trial you have participated? Is Opdivo a chemo drug or immotherapy drug? If you could share more info, that will be great. Thanks, Val
