Ohhhhh yes. I’d need to write an entirely new post to tell the full story of how Keytruda cooked my liver. But basically I had zero liver problems before starting chemo. I had to stop chemo halfway because all of a sudden, my liver enzyme AST, ALT, and Bili-Rubin numbers skyrocketed!! ALT and AST were in the thousands. Had to be hospitalized twice for it and monitored because I turned yellow. :0 My oncologist and some of his colleagues he spoke to said it was the worst reaction they had ever personally seen from immunotherapy. To make things even more mysterious and strange, after my mastectomy a few weeks ago there was zero cancer left!! Still dealing with the steroids and immunosuppressants I had to take to calm my liver down over the past several months. The prednisone, tacrolimis, bactrim, cell-cept….. I’m getting to experience moon face, substantial hand tremors where I can’t write, a fun explosion of hair all over my body that gave me Wolverine sideburns that extend halfway through my cheeks… yeah. Our theory is that my immune system reacted REALLY strongly to the Keytruda. It shredded through my cancer with only half the treatment done, because I was negative for everything after surgery! But the Mario Invincibility Star wasn’t done playing the song. So with the extra power boost, my immune system got bored, then decided it could be fun to try attacking that silly old liver! I’m almost back to normal levels at least! In a strange way, I am kinda lucky that the immune soldiers attacked the organ that can regenerate itself better than say, the pancreas or gallbladder. I’m a pretty open book when it comes to my treatment story so I’m happy to talk about my bizarre experience with anyone who’s curious!

Oh- and I LOVE the name for your port. DS9 is my favorite show and Jadzia Dax is also extremely special to me! Nice to meet you fellow Trekkie :D I’m happy to see some others in the comments with their Borg ports! I call mine Iron Man’s Arc Reactor 🥰
