Journal entry by Rebecca Dennis-Johnson —
Hello All,
Dad had a scan on Tuesday to gauge the effectiveness of the Keytruda treatments and then met the doctor yesterday to get his results. It was all good news! The spots on his liver and lung were unchanged and the cancer on his lymph node decreased in size. The doctor said these were excellent results. Dad will continue with Keytruda treatments over the next 3 months and then have another scan. The doctor called the treatment effects “durable,” meaning the Keytruda is likely to keep working for him. However, Dad’s cancer is highly aggressive and this is not a cure. The goal is a higher quality of life and more time.
It was a great way to start the weekend! Thanks for all your prayers and support. I know he really appreciates it!
