I just had my now "routine" 6 month PET scan to keep track of the efficacy of my immunotherapy treatments, and again, it came back completely clean. I still go in every three weeks for my infusions, the next one will be round 50 of Keytruda, which is what they put me on,as the last ditch effort after my cancer metastasized, but other than seeing the results of my PET scans, I wouldn't know I was getting anything other than an very expensive bag of saline drip. I have tolerated the treatments exceptionally well.
I have had to take a break the past couple of months, but I had gotten my bike tuned up and had been riding for up to 2 hrs, 2-3x week last fall, to try and get a bit more endurance and aerobic capacity back. Even after 3 years, I'm still in the healing process.

I'm in the battle, too, so glad to hear your success! Biking rocks for aiding chemotherapy, my oncs are amazed at what diet and pedaling achieves. They were skeptical at first. Keep posting your gains, they brighten my day/week/........even a minute sometimes can be pivotal.
