More GooD NEWS

In January I drew blood for a new molecular residual disease test - Signatera . The test detects circulating tumor DNA.   The first results take about 8 weeks because genetic analysis of your tumor is needed to inform the analysis.  The predictive power for treatment response appears quite impressive.
I was informed today that my test results are negative - which combined with the news from the previous post would indicate that my first line treatment is working very well.
I am scheduled to begin a 6th cycle of treatment (Keytruda/Padcevv) next Friday and will discuss next steps with my medical oncologist.
In addition to hair loss, I've started to have a runny nose and a bit of taste change.  Claritin did a fine job of clearing up the runny nose.
