Dear Patrick, I have to tell you that you are one hell of not only a trooper, but an inspiration to all of us. Especially your attitude.
You are one quite remarkable person to say the least.
Myself I could only take four of the double treatments of Yervoy and Opdivo because my immune system started attacking my body in different areas.
But those four treatments so far have also saved or perhaps I should say, extended my life and time with my family. I will always be thankful for what it has given me.
The scariest things lately are brain lesions that have been treated with Gamma Knife and SRS treatments.
We can't help how are bodies change as we age, but we sure can be great full like yourself for the treatments the doctors and scientists have worked so hard to find ways to curtail the cancer for us.
God bless and take care!
