Re: Seth from South Korea, Dx november 2017

Seth - am I reading correctly and non-treated mets are all gone? Please verify with your local oncologist and radiologist as this is a very important part of your treatment and we will be very interested to find this out. The possibility to cryoablate some mets with the ICI drugs injection into the...

Re: Seth from South Korea, Dx november 2017

I took a lung, abdomen, pelvis ct scan today.

All of my lung/lymph mets size decreased contrast to Scan of July 2018!

Dr. said pelvis is clear(no recurrence) and abdomen is clear.

But, scan result from radiologist is not completed yet!

I’ll send my ct scan images to cryo dr!

Re: Seth from South Korea, Dx november 2017

Thank you, very interesting indeed. So they do not always inject the ICI in a treated met, sometimes they make it a systemic treatment? which mets are not treated by the in the met IC - bone mets? the half dose is not that bad at all - for some people there is no need for a bigger dose. Yes, bone m...

Re: Seth from South Korea, Dx november 2017

It is really hard to say since we do not know if there was any abscopal effect from the multiple small ICI injections with the cryo treatments you had in Spain. How many ICI treatment did you have there in total? The abscopal effect can only be found by comparing the scans before and after the trea...

Re: Seth from South Korea, Dx november 2017

Hi Seth, we were wondering how did the treatment for the bone mets go and if you had any follow up scans to see if there is an abscopal effect in other non-treated mets so far? Hello Olga~~ i took the bone mets cryo two times for 4 bone mets. I came back to Korea at this Monday! I took brain MRI fe...

Olga wrote:So they cryo ablated few 2-3 mets during each procedure. Do they inject ICI drug into each cryoablated met or into only one (do you pay one ICI payment or depends on the number mets treated)?
They inject each met! And i pay one ici payment and doctor divide it for each met!

Olga wrote:It is a good news!
Was the CT done with the contrast? MRI with the contrast is a better scan for the soft tissue and bone mets, but if the location allows this scan to be taken.
Thank you again Olga! Yes ct was done with contrast!

And i’ll take a bone cryo for my bone mets two weeks later!!

But 3 days ago, my cryo team doctors said that there is no met in T2 according to the ct scan(3days ago). I dont know why t...

Re: Seth from South Korea, Dx november 2017

Yesterday, i took 3rd cryo. Doctor said mets that took cryo at 1st and 2nd cryo is being dead. It’s not fully dead but at necrotic status. So, it’s good news! There was pneumothorax after 2nd cryo, but beside that side effects are very easy to deal with. Doctor said that abscopal effect was happemed...

Thanks Debbie!! I read it. And can get some hope:) I have some questions. I’ve been taking pazopanib from the first surgery(Nov. 2017). I really want to stop it. But i’m quite worried about rebound after stopping tki. So, after first cryo and ici treatment, i’ll stop taking tki. How do you guys thin...
