The scans showed no response to treatment (meaning tumor growth) but continued inflammation. We have thought possibly a visit to infectious disease doctor, after the final elimination of a fungus infection that takes 6 more weeks to return. The oncologist actually left the decision to have infusion #6 up to him. He said yes and received it yesterday. Doing nothing seemed to be giving up.

I’m sorry to hear of the lack of response. The infection has to make healing so much more difficult. It has to be heartbreaking and frustrating. Know that you are doing what you can, and being supportive of his decisions.
