Hi all I saw my oncologist today and he said he wants to start me on Immunotherapy in the next two weeks . He listed off a load of side effects and gave me some paperwork with a huge list of side effects. Has anyone had this treatment . Hope your all baring up , Thanks Regards Minmax
Sorry Son turned up, lol he has couple pints a night, that is going to hurt him lol.
He has to have his mask made, to be honest I think he may struggle with treatment, so i am getting pre warned, its coming up for his birthday, have to mask do with a cuppa.
I am glad i asked you, appreciated a lot.
I had nivolumab immuno every four weeks from Dec 23-Dec 24. I had no side effects whatsoever and nine months of no progression of disease. Unfortunately my latest scan showed a new tumour so the nivo has been stopped. I’ve recently started a trial drug instead (AMIVANTAMAB) which (I think !) is another form of immunotherapy or similar.
