@vtlaney Hello. I was wondering if you have had any treatment with an immunotherapy like Libtayo? My SCC was skin origin and I developed metastatic disease with multiple mets over 13 years. Libtayo has wiped out my last kidney met which included surrounding lymph nodes, and so far (knocking on wood) I have remained clear for over 2 years since stopping the infusions.
Good luck to you. It is a blessing that you have such a good hospital system for your care. I am lucky to have Mayo Rochester doing my cancer care.

@sepdvm
I was being used with Libtayo every week for 9 months. It didn't work.
I was at Mayo Rochester in August and was prescribed Capecitabine 500mg twice daily and alternate weeks no and off.
I have become allergic and have had severe itching. My oncologist took me off the drug!
Don't yet know what comes next.

@sepdvm How long were you on Libtayo?
