Navigating our way through natural healing
So far Todd has had two immunotherapy treatments of Opdivo and Yervoy. After his second round we hoped for a noticeable change, but life had other plans.

We have been back for a month and I can say that this has changed my life. I have never been away from home as an adult for more than a week. It is almost surreal the feeling I have for this whole experience. I can’t believe we made it all the way to Mexico…

Early last Tuesday morning we drove back up to Orlando Health for Todd’s consultation with the plastic surgeon for what we thought was the lymph node transfer procedure to be done at the same time as the dissection. The appointment was for 7:30 and we were smooth sailing down the highway until about 7:00 when…

Three weeks ago we arrived here at CHIPSA North Beach outpatient clinic and today is Todd’s last day of treatment. We were all excited to get home and continue his treatments and had somewhat of a game plan for when we return, but then we got some unexpected news… Todd had another ultrasound this morning…
