Hi Barb, same thing happened to me and just when you’re doing so well in the stable Mable club it knocks you for six! It’s great you can have immunotherapy though. Keep up the fight, will be thinking of you.

Much love xx

Hi Barb

so sorry to hear that. Immunotherapy can yield remarkable results in some cases so don’t give up. I have found it to be much, much kinder than chemo. I have everything crossed for you.

Sending hugs....and fingers crossed immuno will work for you!!!

obviously i know everybody is different but i had several areas of mets following kidney cancer including my lungs and with immunotherapy they have shrunk dramatically. lets all hope for the same for you xx

Hi Barb,

Hope the immunotherapy gives you the results you want.

I'm on Pembromizulab, but not the other one you mentioned. Is that the one that's new?

Hi Harebellle. I don't think it's new but it's being combined with Pembrolizumab and has been very effective so far. Lenvatinib is a targeted therapy drug, an angiogenesis inhibitor (whatever that is!) and a cancer growth inhibitor drug. Reading the paperwork it's got a few nasty side effects but can't be worse than chemo. It's a tablet that's taken daily. Just can't to wait to get a start date. This thing inside feels like it's growing daily!

Hugs, Barb xx

I took lenvatinib for 7 months and had to stop because of high blood pressure.

it didn’t work for me but has helped a lot of people with my cancer and with thyroid cancer
