Started Immunotherapy

First immunotherapy on December 17th. My recent PET was less positive than we had hoped. The cancer in my right lung is in check and things look stable. My left lung has shown the disease has continued and the intensity of the SUV ( PET scan values 2.5 and above are considered malignancy. (Mine went from 2.0 to 4.6 and in another it went from 4.4 to 4.8)) has markedly increased since last scan. The pain has increased in the last few months in my left lung. So, the oncologist is going to use these results as a baseline and I’ll get another PET in 90 days. If the immunotherapy hasn’t made headway on the left lung, then a new strategy will have to be developed and put in play. If anything is consistent, it’s the unpredictable nature of cancer.

💪🏻 and positive!!
