Pembrolizumab sounds exciting and I'm crossing my fingers that it will work for you. I know it's hard to keep that good attitude up although in itself a good attitude helps you cope. You and your wife are doing admirably.

We could write a book about waiting rooms, couldn't we?

The very best of wishes.
