Might want to try an antibody test. If it was COVID then that would be one worry off the table.no, at that time testing was really limited

They already have zapped a spot on my spine. Now, I've got one on my left hip. My next appointment with radiology is July 1st. I may have another on my skull. Oh well, we've just gotta keep breathing. Getting old ain't for sissies.are they going to radiate your bone spots? Research has shown that radiation therapy has been known to boost the effectiveness of the checkpoint inhibitors like Keytruda and Opdivo

Well hello to both of you

Depending on Apple & Samsung
At that time only sports figures & celebrities were getting tested & there were still questions as to the accuracy of certain brands.
Also, cancer & covid aren’t a good mix, particularly for patients on Immunotherapy. Getting tested would have involved being in a lengthy line with lord knows how many potentially covid positive people. I was able to breath so I was treated at home.
Crazy ... I would have hoped testing folks in your situation would be a priority. Apparently not I guess.
Naw, who are we kidding? I was never supposed to live long enough to pay for the indiscretions of my youth.If I'd known I was gonna live this long...I might have taken better care of myself?
speaking for us all...lololNaw, who are we kidding? I was never supposed to live long enough to pay for the indiscretions of my youth.
Well hello to both of you
thanks for finding her for me!
Hi Geekbabe,Had a rough March, sick with some sort of horrible flu like illnesss, worked only 2 days at the hospital & have been out on leave of absence since then due to being at high risk for Covid. At this point I am out of vacation and sick time but...the risk is greater than any hardships.
I had a good CT scan in May 15th, no new growth, no mets, hoping to be able to resume cancer treatment soon. Boston got hit hard & Mass General figured not getting treatment was safer than having to go to the hospital
I am still alive, feeling weird even stepping out of my house even with a mask. Between the virus and the horrible situation in our country right now. Saddened & depressed beyond belief describes my mental status these days
Editing to add that Covid and Cancer is not a good mix,particularly for those of us receiving Immunotherapy treatment. OTOH, I crossed an important marker, over 5 years alive after a stage IV diagnosis. So, I sail in uncharted waters....always the outlier
My Oncologist is leaving in August, to be part of a research team for a drug company. Can’t blame her, she has small children but this feels like another big loss & I will miss her terribly.
i miss you all, please be safe, kind to each other, be the good in the world
I am just so glad you are both still together & that she has such a good human, she is a beautiful cat, I wanted her but.... She was meant for you, I later went on to rescue a big gray guy who enjoys eating as his favorite hobby
