Nov 5

Did 3 rounds of a 4 drug chemo before surgery. It nearly wiped it out which was the plan. Because the pathologist found 2mm squamous cell in the muscle, but no lymph node involvement.

My urologist, oncologist and me decided that a year course of Opdivo was prudent. I've had 4 circulating tumor DNA all negative.

How are you doing?
