Sam from Florida - Dx 2007

Hi Cindy ,
Josh has always used an oatmeal mixture of raisins & nuts for a boost to calories for weight gain , since 2015.
So that definitely is a fiber usage .
Is Sam’s weight disproportional to what he should be , for his height ?
If that’s the case it maybe time to reduce his weight to help his knee to heal , if he has knee replacement?
Glad you are getting the orbital tumor removed.
Other than the possibility of the plate deteriorating, is it causing Sam issues ?

Sam is now just doing 3 week regimen of Opdivo without Yervoy. His oncologist may add the Yervoy back in the future if needed. He has begun pre op for removal of the orbital tumor on 10-20. We are very happy that the skull met is no longer visible on the MRI and his sternum met has “melted away.” After the brain surgery, we will re-evaluate his knee but luckily it isn’t hurting him as long as he takes it easy. Unfortunately, he has pain in his eye and head so he wants to do the surgery. He isn’t interested in dieting at the moment but trying to add som fiber and protein. Thanks for all the input all these years!
