Hi Becky,
I got the worst news yesterday. My tumors have doubled in size and now I have one on my left lung. They are going to try Chemo with 3 drugs I can't begin to pronounce. I'm like you, I pray and pray, then I cry and cry. We have to stay as strong as we can.
Hugs to you~ Susie
Becky, I am not sure when they start Chemo again and I can't recall the names of the 3 drugs they plan to use. I hope they can give you something to counteract your reaction. Do you go once a week for 6 hours? Wow! I am sorry that you have to work and go through this; I am retired.
Prayers for no reaction. Stay strong, hugs to you!
Susie,
I am so sorry to hear that.
Yes we do have to stay strong even as hard as it may be at times.
I go tomorrow to find out what kind of treatment they are going to do since I had a reaction to Atezo.
Dr. said that he wanted to try Atezo again so we shall see
Dr. has me down for a 6 hour treatment.
When are they going to start chemo again?
I am still trying to work during all this and some days are really hard and I do take off.
My Employer has been very good and understanding.
Keep me up to date as I will look forward to hearing from you!
Talk to you soon ((((hugs)))).

Thank you Denise.
My CAT scan came back showing. That the cancer has spread some
Doc wants to try me on Atezo. Again.
I am thinking the Doc will start it up again this coming week.
I am trying to remain positive and hoping I don't get a reaction to the Atezo again.
The Atezo was really helping

Sorry to hear it.
I have been on Atezolizumab for over a year (clinical trial).
I have been facing 2 oligoprogressions
First time, new tumor appeared (March- April 2022).
Second time a tumor got bigger (August - September 2022).
I went to SBRT (stereotactic body radiotherapy) twice.
The last time was in September 2022. Stop Tecentriq.
Then I went back to Tecentriq infusion in October,
Last scan October 13 2022, tumors have shrink.
In between, I contracted COVID-19 (July 09, 2022). Stop Tecentriq for 3 weeks.
So yes you can stop Atezolizumab and get back on it.
