The first 4 treatments I had were the same that President Carter has been having And now I am on a chemo treatment called OPDIVO......there have been many commercials on TV about this. I get my treatments every 2 weeks. I don't know if he will be having this same kind of treatment or not......but had to take the Yervoy first before I could get this one I am on. Didn't have near the side affects with the first 4 treatments as I have had with the one I am on now.
About 3 weeks ago I had another PETscan and the results were good. There is no activity going on with my 3 places I have the cancer, and they are all decreasing in size. For that I thank God....... And hopefully I will be able to go into remission.
He does have a few years on me......but let me tell you, age does not mean anything when you have cancer and are getting treatments. It is hard to go through.
Believe me, I am happy for him that he is doing so well.
@ShowMe ... Sending you positive thoughts that you will go into remission. You sure need a break from all the chemo treatments. I am happy for that they decreasing in size. Just know that many here care about you. I will keep you in my prayers.

Fabulous news. I don't think it's what he expected and what everyone else expected either, given that he is 91 years old. Good for him. He is still quite active and it's nice that he can still contribute and will most likely feel well for a long time.

Blessings to President Carter, his wife and family. I was born and raised in Augusta, GA....he was a remarkable governor and man even back then! Nothing has changed in his faith with the Lord, his family and in mankind. I love President Carter and will continue to pray for him! Go Jimmy! 💓

My best wishes to you, ShowMe! You are so brave! I'm happy that your treatments are working! Especially since you have to go through so much to get them. Looks like they are worth it!! Hugs to you!!!!!
