Hi all, i recent put on my pet results, from starting ipp in 2015 where my cancer was which was liver , lungs, heart, and probs dots around. Ippi shrunk my tumours all over by 50 %. so plan was watch and wait see how long i respond to it. In 2016 i had a 5mm brain met which i was told at the time probably ippi did not stop it in track. Had Gamma Knife for that and thank god clear scan since 2016 on brain.
Had a pet scan which showed every where my cancer was prior starting ippi no intake on scan which is good news. But lymph nodes in chest 2 nodes up on intake. i am planned to have it biopsy on the nodes to see if mel and if yes Radiopherapy we are looking at to treat nodes. My consultant does not want to give me immunotherapy due i think stable eles where and just new nodes which lit up if mel.
My scans from starting treatment never showed any lymph nodes up in chest , so from starting ippi i have progressed but because the areas when had ippi was treated and not changed at all thats why he does not want to give treatment than radiotherapy for nodes.
Do you agree or should i push for immunotherapy or will radiotherapy kill the cancer in nodes. I just dont want to keep getting new areas each year lit up and then hard to control it. Part of me understands but then part of me does not
Please can i have your advice if had this situation or what would you guys do .
Thanks Guys
