Welcome to Helen’s CaringBridge Site
Sign In to Show Your SupportI wanted to share a few more details on next steps with treatment and the reasons for the treatment:
Although it was incredibly good news that my most recent CT scan showed no new cancer or tumors, my oncologist (who I met with yesterday) has encouraged me to “proactively” undergo immunotherapy via infusion every 3 weeks to “keep recurrence” at bay….the type of cancer I have likes to recur so…..he says immunotherapy is a “game-changer” thus, of course, I have agreed to begin this treatment as soon as insurance approves. I have incredible confidence in my oncologist!
No biggie, 30 minutes….Side effects are minimal….no hair loss, tiredness, etc. some concern my arthritis could rear its ugly head but that’s a small price to pay for prevention.
I continue to appreciate and rely on your love and support…..it sustains me each and every day. I continue to fight and with your help will surely prevail.
