Hey Gang,
A quick update: I completed my 1 year course of OPDIVO after initial stage 3 diagnosis, spread into axilla and supraclavicular lymph nodes from initial site on my forearm, and PET-CT shows all clear still- Thanks, God!
Labs were conducted ahead of the scan, and those reports are largely normal, except it looks like I have a moderate level of anemia now, to go along with the hearing loss experienced. I have my post treatment office call next week to discuss the full treatment results and path forward on the side effects.

Separately, Knee Replacement Recovery is coming along and regaining my flexibility and endurance. Still having to ice the dickens out of it, but better every day.

Hugs to all and thanks for your thoughts and prayers, and please know you all are in my heart!

Sam

How wonderful to hear of your successful treatment, Sam. I'd love to hear how your post-treatment appointment goes. Will you post again after your appointment next week?
