Well I was in LA for the Pac-12 championship game. We had to find a place with TV's for dinner so we could watch it. Ended up at Buffalo wild wings. Game sucked, our offense has been too finicky this year. Now we will be in a crappy bowl. I guess at least the Jazz picked up a shooter who is almost as old as I am. He looked good against Charlotte so hopefully that continues cause the Jazz are not living up to expectations right now.
As for my treatment yesterday, it was a little different than normal. My uric acid levels have continued to climb so the doctor had some drugs put into me through an IV that is supposed to help it. Hopefully it doea,. I had a CT scan as well. The doctor said that the one we had been injecting looked like it had shrunk just a little bit. The one we hadn't been injecting definitely grew. This is not really knees because we have seen this in the ultrasounds every time we go. This treatment is the second time we treated the growing tumor. The doctor really wants to do another CT next time I am out there to see what the tumor that is growing is doing since we have injected it twice now. Hoping for it to shrink a little. With some of the side effects I saw last time the doctor thinks that could possibly be the drugs kicking in and working. Obviously hoping for that. This time I had an allergic reaction to something. Immediately after the injection I got hives. Nurses came in and gave me benadryl which seemed to knock it out pretty good. There was some worry about going forward with the trial because of this but the doctor is chalking it up to the medicine I got for my uric acid levels. This was also the last time I will get the Ipi infusion. You typically only get those 4 times. If we don't see any progression with the rumors the next step is to go back on Pembro. The doctor said that sometimes when trying to change your immune system going back to something else works because the immune system could now be a little different.
I feel good today and hope to continue feeling good for a bit. We are going after it and will stay aggressive with it. Just trying to find the right combination to get rid of the tumors. I am confident we are getting closer to finding it. Love you all! Thanks for the prayers!
