Hello,
Thank you for your comments. My husband is been treated by Kaiser Permanent, Sanford is the 2nd opinion, that agrees with the treatment at Kaiser as the " First line treatment".
He is clinically ineligible to immunotherapy. Below the explanation:
CPS score. This score should be greater than or equal to 5, this result indicates a higher response. Your CPS score was 0, meaning that the specific immunotherapy target was not present per the molecular testing of your cancer. Your cancer was also tested for a specific feature called microsatellite instability / DNA mismatch repair.
Tumors with this feature respond to immunotherapy. Your cancer did not have this feature.
Sanford also lined up other future therapies that he could use as a 2nd line treatment.
We are in the beginning of this journey and learning a lot about the disease and therapies every day to be equipped the best I can to talk to the doctors.
Well said when you say that keeping a positive mentality is the most important !! Hard sometimes for sure.
Thank you!! Keep you post it.
