I was on Carboplatin and Altima... was on the combo for 5 infustions... tumors were shrinking. then they kept me on only the Altima for 7 more infusions... the tumors were still shrinking... I just found out the chemo stopped working and the tumors are growing again and few more are appearing...however...I guess they are very small... I had my first infusion of immuno therapy of nivolumab... AKA: Optivo... a few weeks ago... hope it is going to work... even though I am not doing the same drugs... I thought I would add some insight into my therapies to maybe share drug info... hope your new therapy works well for you....

And I, as well, hope your new treatment is effective. I start Crizotinib the first week in December. Since side effects may be disabling, my dr and I agreed it best to start after I return from a business trip to England at the end of this month. So I’m off all treatment now these past 5 weeks, for the first time since my adventure began almost 2 years ago. Sure wish my eyes and nose would stop running already!
