Has anyone here had immunotherapy and what side effects did you have
Hi Oak2
As there are lots of types of immunotherapy, depending on the type of cancer you're being treated for, I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you also post this in the womb cancer forum as I can see from your profile this is the type of cancer that you're being treated for.
Wishing you all the best
Hi @Oak2. Yes. I’m on a type of immunotherapy. A type of checkpoint inhibitor. Generally, it’s been OK really. I did get some joint pain once one month into it. I took a blood test called the EpiSwitch CiRT that came out recently which was recommended by my private insurer. I was lucky in that it told me that I have a very good chance of the immunotherapy working, so this gave me the hope to carry on. All looking OK currently. I hope this is helpful to you on your journey! Cheers, Tom
