Julio’s treatment
-
radiation
December 2023 - Julio completed 5 days of radiation that targeted the spinal tumor that wraps his spine.
April 2024 - Julio completed 1 day of radiation to his hip joint.
December 2024 - Julio will complete 5 days of targeted higher intensity radiation to the hip and spine.

Ablation
Julio had his primary kidney tumor ablated in May 2024. Amazing to think a under 3cm mass could have wrecked such havoc.
It appears the ablation was successful.

Immunotherapy
June 2024 - Julio started Immunotherapy (Nivolumab & Ipilimumab). He will continue ongoing cycle treatments. Each round will consist of 4 treatments/ 3 weeks apart, followed by a maintenance period.
Fall 2024 ~ Julio was switched to monthly Nivolumab only treatments.
