@grandpabob @merpreb @colleenyoung SCANXIETY UPDATE: Scan went fine and the first thing my OncDoc said when she walked in the room was "beautiful scan"! She estimates that about 75% of my tumor have disappeared and that when I return to immunotherapy it will be maintenance only: Keytruda and Alimta. The bad news is the scan caught a rather large kidney stone that is causing swelling in my left kidney. They want to address that issue to avoid future damage and feel they can suspend immunotherapy for a while to address the kidney issue. So it was a great news, bad news day.

Great news, @ta52. The kidney stone is but a blip on the highway of life.

@ta52- Congratulations! And Colleen is right about the kidney stone. Did your doctor tell you how long maintenance will be? WIll it be until two years are up?

Hola, yo estoy en tu misma situación, quería saber si antes de la inmunoterapia puedo tener un estudio molecular para que el tratamiento haya sido tan efectivo, y que cáncer tiene?
