Hi. My husbands had he's immunotherapy permanently stopped due to it causing ulcerative colitis as anyone ever experienced this?
Hi Hayleyc89
Sorry to hear about your husband, my wife has never had immunotherapy so cannot relate to that except noting that this does appear to be a known potential side effect of that treatment, In our case my wife's first attempt at chemotherapy caused a lung to collapse and that treatment will not be repeated; however when they got that stable a second round of treatment managed to render her cancer stable.
Does he know what might be happening next, including of course any treatment for the ulcerative colitis?
<<hugs>>
