wwroam Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 While keytruda appears to be the immunotherapy drug of choice in US,here in Oz recent developments have established protocols that have made keytruda as a 1st line treatment and Opdivo as a 2nd line treatment. I am scheduled for my 7th treatment of Opdivo on Wednesday this week following a CT scan last Thursday. It will be interesting to see if it is working its magic or a complete waste of time. I have really only had one side effect. Very itchy skin which I seem to have been able to overcome with cortisol cream and using my stash of dexmathazone tablets ( only 2.5 mg) Tom Galli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwroam Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 Unfortunately the CT scan wasn't favourable and I have ceased the Opdivo. I will be returning to Taxol and Carboplatin. It certainly worked in the past . Tom Galli and Lisa Haines 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwroam Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 Wednesday last week wasn't the happiest of days. Aside from the news on Opdivo ( which part of me was expecting), my BMW M2C went into limp home mode . I've decided that most drivers are complete idiots and never read the traffic.
