What is anti-PD1

Great info.. this stuff definitely gets very sciency and sometimes confusing.

Soon after I was diagnosed a friend of mine told me her mom was one of the scientists that developed Opdivo and I had a long conversation with her mom about anti-PD1 and how it all works. This was before I was fully staged, she wanted to give me all the info (and probably more than most patients get) so I knew what was available if needed. Now I am totally interested in all immunotherapy research and stuff, something I never would have found myself interested in prior. I'm always telling friends, nurses, etc, "I find this all very fascinating.. just kind of wish it wasn't happening in my own body.."

Very good information indeed.

I know it can get  a bit scientific around here when talking treatments , but we are all well served to bone up on the nuts and bolts of it all .

I can absolutely, positively and without a doubt, say after all of my years  sufferring from this god forsaken disease that the informed patient is ahead of the game for having a better outcome.

In order to make informed treatment decisions we MUST be informed.

Good stuff, Bubbles.

Cheers,

Charlie
