August 26th 2019

We went today for a follow-up and the first of my Imfenzi infusion which the insurance sent us a letter saying it would not pay for Imfenzi but it would pay for Keytruda. Keytruda is approved for Stage 4 Lung Cancer where Imfenzi is only approved for Stage 3. They used my already installed Port, kit took about an hour and a half this time, next time will be about an hour.

   The Radiation doctor, Dr. Anderson staged it a 3B since there were no brain tumors found and the sack that surrounds the lungs was empty. Dr. Flanders has it Stage 4, so who knows.

I take this on every 3 weeks and will do a year and possibly longer if needed. The list of side effects is scary but no scarier than Imfenzi was.
