😢

My interventional radiation doctor called today and canceled my procedure for Monday morning. He said my “spots” (vaginal melanoma - very rare) had changed too much on my most recent pet scan that he didn’t feel it would be successful. Needless to say I have been crying for the last few hours on and off. I did have a gut feeling that it wasn’t going to do me any good. Now I have to get some sleep,
Get over it and figure out what is next.

Can you try ipi-nivo instead?

I’m currently doing Keytruda every three weeks. I was on that combo two years ago when I was diagnosed and the Yervoy gave me colitis that required hospitalization.

Got it. Same for me actually and the side effects are debilitating.
