Hello friends! I had scans a couple of weeks ago now and have some good news to share! First set of good scans in a very long time. The liver lesions have mostly shrunk or those that didn’t shrink have remained stable. Additionally, the liver enyzmes I have been worried about are heading down too! Two out of the three main enzymes that I watch are now in the normal range. And one is still fairly high, but it heads down a few points every week. Yay!
Side effects remain pretty manageable, although they are starting to accumulate. I have neuropathy in my feet, I am feeling nauseous a little more frequently, and my fatigue is kicking up a notch. My hair has continued to thin, but that has slowed a little the last couple of weeks. Even with all of that, I am still living a full life!
Two weeks ago I recorded a video of my day at DF just so you could get a little look at what an infusion day is like there. This infusion day was shorter than days where I get to see my doctor or nurse practitioner. I only see a provider on the first day of each cycle. And those days are extra LONG. This was recorded on week 2 (of 3) in my third cycle. Let me know if you have any questions about what you see (or didn’t see).

Hi Hannah, I’m so impressed with how well you are advocating for not only yourself, but also others by education. I too am back again on immunotherapy after a melanoma metastasis in my intestine that was resected in December 2022. I am not very good about sharing so i so appreciate what you are doing and will take a cue from you in the future. Anyway, just wanted to stop by your page and let you know how awesome I think you are and wish you continued strength, hope, and love as you deal with your latest speed bump. So grateful you agreed to that clinical trial for brain MRIs and thankful for all the women you are helping by promoting preventive diagnoses and care. Keeping you in my thoughts and please give Catherine a hug from me and tell her I’m sorry I missed them on their last visit to BI. Xoxo
