Past And Present
Here’s where I’ve been:
- Taxol + Carboplatin + Avastin (standard first line of defense)
- Avastin only (maintenance)
- Gilotrif (targeted chemo, second line of defense)
Here’s where I am now:
- Opdivo/Nivolumab (immunotherapy, third line of defense)

And, since congress is owned by the drug company lobby, don’t expect the price to go down anytime soon.

Wow. Yeah, the whole medical system is a morass of cronyism and over regulation and regulatory capture by cronies aided by Congress critters. Stupid.
Doesn’t look like it will get any better anytime soon; no matter which party is in power.
Funny thing is that I’ve worked out virtually every day for 30+ years with the primary motivation of staying out of the screwed up healthcare system. But alas, c’est la vie. I think life is mostly luck anyway.
