Keytruda will be Hubby's medication for life, literally!

 


We went to Hubby's oncologist yesterday to discuss his current tests and a plan for addressing the results. The new med is below. And the other two he has been using are below that.

Keytruda is better to explain what it's for than me. It will be injected into Hubby every three weeks. He starts on Monday. Just click on the whole thing to get any answers about this immunotherapy drughttps://www.keytruda.com/?cid=PPC-accountype:MICROSOFT-campaign:Keytruda+Pan+Tumor+KEYTRUDA+ONLY_Brand_BRND_NA_ENGM_EXCT_TEXT_NA-searchterm:keytruda-adgroup:Brand+Keyword_General-keywordid:p55596840513&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Keytruda%20Pan%20Tumor%20KEYTRUDA%20ONLY_Brand_BRND_NA_ENGM_EXCT_TEXT_NA&utm_term=keytruda&utm_content=Brand%20Keyword_General&utm_kxconfid=sq7irm3mh&gclid=11514c4e957f1851a6772bea20de0f9f&gclsrc=3p.ds&.

The left adrenal gland cancer came from the lung cancer that was dealt with last with five doses of radiation and most recently Hubby had another five doses of radiation for the adrenal gland cancer. Hope that works. The problem is as of the last time he does have cancer in his lymph nodes but there are so many specific it is hard to tell which ones.

He will continue on Xtandi https://www.xtandi.com/starting-treatment?utm_source=microsoft_search&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Core+Branded+Terms&utm_term=xtandi&utm_content=General_Exact_10478&gclid=888cc5599fa91ed00549a2fd26c51622&gclsrc=3p.ds&msclkid=888cc5599fa91ed00549a2fd26c51622 and ORGOVYX: https://www.orgovyx.com/  also for life, literally!

 Let me introduce you to the crew...

Lastly, moving on to who they are, our crew...

3 months, and ... now 7!



   
Aussie, say good day!
I am Aussie, not from Australia, but American-made. 
I will comply because it is fun and say good day!

I am called Aussie because my mom asked a sixteen-year-old girl looking at me in the crate I was in at the adoption site that day what she thought I should be named. Mom asked her age, but not her nameβ€”ha! Without hesitation, the teenager said Aussie! By the way, she was just looking, so my mom did not steal me from her.
We never discovered the girl's name; Mom liked Aussie, too. Since then, we have found that it is a ubiquitous name, but it is still just right for me! My parents think that I am uncommon, even unique! I do like that.
I am an Australian Shepherd, a red Merl. And here is an interesting factoid about me: I was supposed to be a miniature Australian Shepherd, but as you might know, I AM NOT! I am a standard Australian Shepherd! Although I am now seven years old, I am the baby,. I am the largest of fur babies, and due to my breed and being standard, I am just right,
I was three months old when Mommy and Daddy adopted me. I had been taken- out of a hoarder's home in the Carolinas with my litter. 
Above is my PIC, taken on the birthday I share with my dad, but dad is much older than me!!! I was the first to be adopted, on February 16, 2018, on Dad's brother's birthday.
No tail/tale publishing, circa 2018.
Get it? I was born without a tail, preferable for all Australian Shepherds; only one out of five are born that way!

                                           

Hello, I am Bella. In the picture above, I am a Maltese Yorkie and a Morkie. I might be eleven years old. We are all rescues, so no one knows our ages for sure. I am the middle child, so I am what you would expect, with all those idiosyncrasies accompanying that! Being the only girl has its rewards as well as its difficulties. 
My previous family turned me in, stating that I misbehaved with their elderly dog. It had been said that I was driving him crazy! I was the second to be adopted on 8/18/18, clearing out the shelters' day!
My record called me Belle, so for no known reason, Mom decided I was more of a Bella. I was beautiful either way!




Hey, wait! Please don't forget me! I am Chance, pictured above, a Bichon Frise! I am 13-ish years old, so they think, and the eldest, and I like getting up early with mom and Aussie. Bella sleeps late with Dad, till after seven most days, even later sometimes! 

I enjoy a good tug-a-war on the ropes Dad had twisted for Aussie and me, and sometimes even Bella plays, too! I was the last to be adopted on January 23, 2020. 

I had been wandering the neighborhood for days when I saw Aussie and Bella in their living room window, so I hung out there. 

The animal control lady had been called and came out to see if I had a chip I.D. with her machine, and Dad told her that he wanted to name me Chance. His reason is that if no one claimed me, "I want to give him a second chance!" So that is how I got the name Chance!

The Animal Welfare League checked me out and kept me for sixteen

days until I was allowed to be adopted. Good evening.

Easy as Aussie, Bella, and Chance, now you got it! In order of adoption!
