Great to see you this weekend Marv, hope they nail the shit out of it.

Great to see you this weekend and on the water! Pork Loins (well, the rib portion) was off the hook!

Its been a while since I've updated!

I've been receiving the immunotherapy drug Keytruda at UCSF since Sept 2015 - every 3 weeks, and a PET/CT every 3 months or so. 

The cancer is stable, its still there in a lymph node on the side of my neck, hasn't changed much in size and hasn't spread anywhere else. Just cruising along with occasional minor side effects. Last resort I can go under the knife and get the lymph nodes taken out.

Still looking good Marv.
Hang in there bro.

While I'm glad the cancer is stable it pisses me off that you still have to deal with this....

Stupid fucking cancer.

Your positive attitude is inspiring to me though...hang in there buddy, don't hesitate at all to let us know if there is anything at all we/PIF can do to help, and am really looking forward to seeing you on Saturday!

 

Sincerely,

Thank you for the update, it was great seeing you at Crabfest, I hope we can chat more Saturday.

Recent scans show a small tumor in my sinus, seems like this has been there a little while.

Docs want to do a surgical procedure to biopsy it.

Been on the Keytruda drug since 9/2015. Its been working to a degree where the cancer has been mostly kept in check. My oncologist is working on putting a clinical trial together for a combination immunotherapy treatment where they will add two other drugs.

Not sure where this is headed, just wanted to update! Cancer sucks!
