0.3077

On Tuesday I had my fourth (of thirteen) Nivolumab treatments. Again, no side effects so far from the immunotherapy, although the cumulative affect of the chemo I had last fall has stabilised. I have permanent tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and some neuropathy in both feet (they tingle, especially in the shower). All in all, not a bad outcome (side effect wise).

I also got my follow up urine culture and chest x-ray done to close the loop on my Calgary extravaganza. There was still traces of blood in the urine (which my doc said not too concerning based on all the surgery, missing parts and new parts that I now have), and the chest x-ray is now clear. I followed up with Dr. Noonan about it, she said that Foothills Hospital in Calgary did exactly the right thing(s).

When I talked with both my oncologist (Noonan) and GP (LeVoi) they cautioned me about the heightened chance of UTI's from now on - and the only indication I'm likely to get is a fever (maybe kidney pain too). So I'll have to see them about carrying some "just in case" antibiotics with me when we go overseas in November. I do not want to sit in a hospital in Spain trying to explain what's going on.

Otherwise, things are good. I feel good. I look deceptively great. And my charm and wit are exceptional.

Oh, the 0.3077 in the title? That's the percentage I've done with the Nivolumab.
