Hi all,
I had my first review today after 2 cycles of Cemiplimab combo treatment. My lung tumour has grown slightly from 5cms to 5.5cms and 2 chest nodes from 18mm to 20 mm but still considered as stable so the treatment can continue.
No new tumours seen on ct scan and I’m feeling well apart from joint pain in my shoulders. Small price to pay - so far so good!
Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine today.

Thank you Norberry, it has certainly put a spring in my step!
Hi, I was going to say the same as Pet. I know quite a few people who have had immunotherapy, maybe not the same one as you but they all work in a similar way. Of the people I know quite a few of them after their first scan were disappointed because the tumours either grew slightly or stayed the same but very few after that scan had a reduction in tumour size.
Congratulations in getting onto the Trial! You are right to be pleased with these results. When you think of it, just the cost of these drugs alone should make you realise they wouldn't carry on giving it to you IF they didn't think it had a chance of working!
I hope you can do like the rest of us here and enjoy every minute of every day! Good luck with the rest of your trial and remember where there's life there's hope!!
Love Annette x
