The term 'pseudo-progression' in the prior post: several Madison followers didn't Google it and just saw the word 'progression'. Basically it can be like fake news: consider it like a loudmouth at the podium creating racket to get attention. After immunotherapy, tumors can increase in size causing intense pain. We like to think of them as agitated ideally before there is a reduction in size or in a perfect world, go away.
Pasted from this link: "We continue to learn about some issues that are very specific to immunotherapy. One of those is the concept of "pseudo-progression". As the name implies, it looks like progression, but it actually isn't -- in fact, it may precede a good and prolonged response to the immunotherapy".
Madison's pain increased considerably, and the pain management specialist added another pinch of this and a dash of that. Given several Madison followers read the post below focusing only on the word 'progression', they perceived it as fact. Being full of hope and faith, we've decided that all of the racket in her chest causing Madi's increased pain is just pseudo-progression... an alternate fact.
With love, hope, and faith,
