PET scan update

Just got the word that Ryan’s PET scan was completely clean! Again, this is absolutely miraculous.. From not being able to walk from being completely crippled on Halloween to now. The clean PET scan means we can now make a safe move to the yervoy opdivo combo; with a clean slate. So if anything shows up we know it’s because the combo isn’t working. It’s a beautiful base to start with. I have calmed down after some research, although I personally think keytruda seems to have a slightly better rep. But both are PD 1 inhibitors so they do the same exact thing. Just a different name. But thanking all the gods and all of you for your continued prayers and kind words. We are very fortunate; and happy we can spend more days with each other. He is the light of my life and I am running in circles with happiness! ❤️ any updates anyone wants to share with their SO?
