Shingles

I have NSCLC 

Thanks Ellie. I see my oncologist on Friday. I mention immunotherapy but he never takes it up. He keeps me on pemetrexed which is quite hard. I wonder if immunotherapy is any easier and has the same affect. As I am stable but still need treatment.  xx

Chemo is a poussin as my oncologist told me. 

Immunotherapy is not, it is to jump start  your own, immune system, to recognize you have a foreign body with in it, and fight it., do not get me wrong, comes with side effects of their own, but was so much kinder for me than chemo.

You can only ask why, i do know when and if mine decides to grown, i will be on a target therapy, i have asked my  Oncologist.

Hope this helps to understand are you just on the one chemo now, like a maintence as they call it.

Yes I have a 10 min infusion every 4 weeks of pemetrexed. What does poussin mean in this context xx

LOL Should read poison 

I think I like the idea of chemo being like chicken

 That’s what google came up with! 

Would be nice if it was, lol

When i was on immuno therapy i did have my covid vax..my onc said it was fine.
