Hi Prince Barney. Welcome to the Online Community. I'm sorry to read your husband had severe pain after his first treatment with Avelumab. I've not had this treatment and I can see it can be used to treat several different types of cancers.
You don't mention what cancer your husband has so to find out other member's experiences with this drug I'd suggest joining the relative group for his cancer. Click on Cancer types and join the group. Then copy and paste this post to introduce yourself. Read through some of the posts on the forum and click reply to any posts you want to ask a question.
I would also contact his CNS to get more information from them.
It’s always helpful to others if you write a little something (or a lot) about yourself and your journey to date. You can enter it into your profile (click on your username and select “Profile”) It’s helpful to other members with a similar diagnosis who can then hopefully answer your questions. It also means that you don't have to keep writing the same thing over and over. You can amend or update it at any time.
To find more information covering diagnosis and treatments there are pages covering most types of cancers which can be found on our Online Information and Support Section.
