If there was a store for ASPS it would be called “The statically rare, are us”. 😊
I agree with all the Nhi has responded with.
ASPS is a certainty to grow when it is given an environment of immune suppression and with TKIs, even the targeted multi-TKIs, the likely hood of a patient developing a resistance is more statically a possibility, in my opinion .
You are 7 months post surgery and quite frankly your lung growth is quite subdued for having had major surgery .
I also agree 100% with Olga on treating the 2cmish lung tumor , if deemed safe to treat, with cyro to create an “in situ” vaccine response to ramp up your immune system. Our son inadvertently subscribed to an in situ cryoablation in 2015 and consequently in my opinion had a great response to Opdivo .
Here’s a discussion on utilizing cryo with immune therapies..

As Nhi and Olga have pointed out you have been doing a great job in your care especially your nutritional basis .👍🏼
I personally feel the Keytruda is working and needs more of a chance to show it’s true potential.
My opinion.
Sincerely,
