          Hey Scooby,

          Stable is great.  Slow growing is good.  But would anti-PD-1 be a possiblity for you?  Glad they are keeping a close eye on things.  Hang in there.  Celeste

              Thanks for reply and did ask about treatment but said due to low increase treatment not warrant at moment. Yes PD-1 a possible. 3 months scan he said . Watch and wait but hate that.

              Hey Scooby,

              That's one of those luke warm results you don't know what to think about.  I'd still call that stable.  2mm is so small than could be resolution induced.  Comforting to know you still have Anti Pd1 in the back pocket.
