FDA approved the first clinical trial of a Cuban lung-cancer vaccine.
The trial will test the CIMAvax-EGF vaccine, combined with an immunotherapy drug called
Opdivo
, which has already been approved in the United States.

Sooo my Dad had a PET scan after several rounds of
Opdivo

Lorlatinib for ALK rearrangement
Once you are on
Opdivo
, you can only get into the trial this way. In the meantime he is failing and will not make it to the fall. Isn't there any compassionate care program for this drug?

Letters to loved ones
I recently got pneumonitis from my
opdivo
treatments in my left lung which is the better of my two lungs. The right one is only at half capacity due to the cancer. They had me in the hospital for about a week and now I am finally home to finish out my medication and steroids.

Thanks to everyone who responded. Haven't been on the site as have had a few bad days as the horrid mist and floaters iin my eye is really getting me down. Got a few ideas of other things to try. Feeling I might have tried viscotears and they made my eyes itch but I think Optive which I use is the

Treatment for dry eyes
Went to the eye hospital yesterday just to check everything was ok with my eye as I feel like I am looking through a mist. Basically I have to wait for my brain to adjust to this and the huge floater which is very wearing and tiring. The nurse commented on how dry my eyes are which I already knew
