Opdivo infusion #46

After an 18 month hiatus, I'm back on immunotherapy. This time I'm at the Kaiser Permanente facility in Tyson's Corner Virginia, which is only a few miles from my home. It's newer and more spacious than either Hopkins or GW's chemo areas. At the appointed time, I was seated in the recliner and the nurse quickly placed an IV (since I was deported last year) and did a blood draw (I'd done my labs last Friday, but she didn't see a Hepatitis B test on my chart). While that test was running, she scheduled my next 3 infusions. Once the nivolumab arrived, she hooked it up to the infusion machine, and it was no different from my 45 prior infusions. Here's to hoping that the effect likewise is no different, and once more I'll slide into remission.

  1. Ken,
    I've been following your blog off and on ever since my wife began immunotherapy for CNS lymphoma (2014). She received rituxamab and chemotherapy following surgery. After 9 months her scans we're clear but the tumor returned after 1 year. She once again went on rituxamab and different chemotherapy followed by radiation. Her scans have been clear for a year and a half. I hope you have success from your renewed immunotherapy.

  2. My husband was diagnosed with the same cancer in August 2015. He started Nivolumab and was in remission by September 2016. He suffered a lot of side effects not reported by others and is just now gaining weight and getting some strength back. Are you aware of the current status of others in your Clinical Trial and whether any others are also seeing the tumors return? Our Drs. at Stanford Oncology say that there are very few patients on Nivolumab that experience complete remission.
    I hope that your continued treatment provides you the same results that you saw the first time. Best of luck.
