MarionMatt. BEATIFUL! LOVELY! Charts! SO happy to read this latest post. YIPPEE! Keep the good news coming as we can never get enough of it!
Good news! I had labs done this past Wednesday, 2/10/16, and my liver function test results are ALL perfectly normal now.
This is after taking steroids to put the breaks on my immune system after the Keytruda triggered an autoimmune hepatitis.
I continue to take 10mg of prednisone daily and plan to have my next Keytruda on 2/24/16.
My CA 19-9 continues to go down even though I haven’t had a dose of Keytruda for over a month. The long-lasting effect of Keytruda I’m seeing is consistent with what I’ve read and heard from others.
My dear friend Matt. I’ve already told you but I am so happy to hear about your latest news and that you got relief to find that all of your labs are trending down and back to normal.
Julie, I had tried messaging you on FB the other day. Been thinking about you a lot. Hope all is well and would love to go more in depth when you are up to it! Hugs and prayers.
PorterMatt, good news all around! I’m so happy that your labs are returning to normal and there was a logical reason for the temporary elevation.
I’ve told my husband Mike your story and all about your treatment successes. He and I are both looking forward to meeting you in person in SLC.

Totally awesome, Matt. Great news! Wish I was going to the conference in Salt Lake, but I’m still recovering from the surgery and we have the little grandson we’re babysitting, so I have to lend a hand there from time to time, if only to wash baby bottles and sit beside the little guy to keep him out of trouble.
. If I got to Salt Lake, I’d have to stay another week just to do genealogy research too. Just thinking of all the fun makes me smile. Have a good time and make a difference for all of us who can’t be there.Julie T.
Had labs done today and my liver function test results are much better than they were a week ago. Some are perfectly normal now and others are moving rapidly in that direction. This is after taking steroids to put the breaks on my immune system. It appears that the Keytruda triggered an autoimmune hepatitis. I’ll resume Keytruda in a few weeks. No need to fly out to Mayo Clinic tomorrow for an ERCP so I will be heading to the conference in Salt Lake City next week after all! Very happy!
Yes, I did Melinda – and I did have a minor (100F) temp the following day and that went away and morphed into a cold… I’m sure it’s just a little virus. Labs this Wed will tell and I’ll post results.
