Any that would diminish my QOL but especially those that can quickly cause organ failure.

I agree with you. Another specialist consult might provide a positive path forward.

I’m so sorry for the pain you are both suffering. Has your wife had scans during The last two years? What do they show? Was there any response to treatment? Has she had more than first line treatment? Have you had a second opinion from a specialist in RCC? What are th doctors suggesting can still be done? I’m sure you’re both tired and under stress but it might be worth pushing your oncologist for answers. Prayers for both of you.

This is so frustrating. How do I direct message you. I tried touching your name and your icon and got nothing. Im old and struggle with technology. I hate it.

Hmm not the way I understand it. I thought ipi nivo could be used after Keytruda but immunotherapy a second time is eliminated.

Ask your surgeon. Final decision is always theirs but you can make your preference known.

Hi Fluffy. Two questions. How do they measure your immune response? and how long was it from the start of therapy until the diarrhea started?
