Re: Any Chemo Lifers? Incurable Stage 4

Hi. Read my sig. I believe we owe it to life to keep on fighting the good fight. Plus, I can't stand the thought of leaving my boy, even though he's gonna be 21, and looks like he's gonna be a good,strong man.

Re: Calling ALL Colorectal CANUCKS !

Hello
Is there any update for approval of Keytruda or Opdivo for msi-H CrC by Health Canada now that it has been approved by FDA in USA?
What sort of time lag is there normally for such approvals.
Regards.

Re: very discouraged with this cancer business

Hello
Since you are msi-H , please explore immunotherapy options .

If not able to get local approval, consider overseas options.
Best wishes.
