Last Friday was a marathon day at Epworth hospital, Richmond, Melbourne for CT scans on neck, chest, pelvis and abdomen. A cannula was inserted into the arm and contrasting dye injected during the scans. Yesterday a visit to John Fawkner Hospital, Melbourne for bloods to be taken at pathology, consultation with my oncologist Allan Zimet then chemo with Day Chemo if bloods were okay. Bloods were fine, so chemo was given the go ahead! Results of scans showed STABLE, no change really since my last scans in March 2016. Keytruda is still in my system and working to keep tumours stable along with the 4 chemotherapy infusions of Vinorelbine/Carboplatin minus steroid Dexamethasone and the drug Maxolon! My health has returned to excellent quality of life, and still NO PAIN since commencing Keytruda in April 2015! So I am on maintenance chemotherapy of Vinorelbine/Carboplatin with the hope of shrinkage rather than stable of tumours. There is the mention of Keytruda to have further top up infusions however due to us having to pay $5,000 per treatment it would mean stretching our credit card once more to cover this cost. However as it is life saving treatment then we would not hesitate to have further Keytruda treatments when the time comes.
