Some of you may recall that I posted about my sister’s cancer that was detected in June 2020. She was diagnosed with stage 4 renal cancer that was discovered when she started having vision problems that were caused by a tumor in her eye. The cancer started in her kidneys and spread to her eye, brain, lungs, liver, and bones (shoulder, spine, and hip). Her diagnosis was grim, but the silver lining of hope was a new immunotherapy that showed so much promise that trials had ended early. They zapped the most critical areas with radiation first (eye, kidney, and one area of the bone cancer). Then they started the immunotherapy. It was often a “2steps forward, 1 step back” situation as she was hospitalized with COVID for a while, and she developed some issues with with her stomach that required a feeding tube twice. But, her most recent body scans showed her to be cancer free except for a small spot on her kidney! She had another dose of radiation on that spot Wednesday, and her doctor is confident that is the last radiation she will need. She will still be on immunotherapy for the rest of her life, but her life will be normal. There were a LOT of happy tears in my family this week! That is a truly amazing update. I am so, so happy for all of you. My DH passed away in February after fighting renal cancer nearly 15 years. He didn't have a great response to immunotherapy. But, one of our college friends did! He is cancer free after 5 years.
