Discussion Had my Cancer Biopsy done today

They're gonna write books and papers on you and your care/treatment and results.

I hope they can just collect enough cancer tissue samples to develop a germline to be able to study & test new treatments on. I want to somehow help others long after I am gone.

2nd round of immunotherapy today, they gave me fluids as I was a bit dehydrated & the senior flu shot. Tumor testing came back, I have Keap1, TP53 & APC issues. On the plus side my tumor mutational burden was 21 which is 88% higher across all cancers and 91% over other lung cancer patients , hopefully the high burden means immunotherapy will work again. They just ran the Flow Cymetry test today. I lost 5 more pound, for some reason immunotherapy is killing my appetite this go round.

Btw, this senior flu shot is kicking my butt… whoa! I feel lousy 😱

Bummer. Hope you start feeling a bit better soon. Feeling bad gets old, even when it isn't chronic.
