My mums having treatment for anal cancer which has spread to the lymph nodes. She’s on these two chemos on a 6 week cycle with immunotherapy.
im aware that chemo impacts are different for everyone however we would like to know if it does work, would you see the benefit after 1/2 cycles or would you have to do the whole course? Bit vague I know. She will get scans every couple of months I believe.
just looking for people’s experiences/info on the above? They have mentioned level 2 ad level 3 chemo aswel. What is that exactly and how does it work.
any info on this would be greatly appreciated, positive if possible. It’s been difficult seeing her on the chemo at the hospital but unfortunately that’s the situation.
cheers

Hi Al AlexNth I just noticed your question had not received a reply. I have had a lot of chemo over my 24 years but not these drugs. I found variations in the speed at how my treatments worked, some showed very quick response but others were slow burn……. but for them all, regardless how well they had been working I had to do all the cycles that had been planned.
I see you are a member of a few cancer specific group (find the groups links by hitting your community name)….. could I suggest you put your question up in these groups as there is more chance of connecting with people who have had the same treatment.
All the best to your mum.
