Hi All I had my last 5th infusion for immunotherapy about a month ago . I had my scan and unfortunately my liver tumour has grown from 170 mm to 200mm which isn't good . The Oncologist asked me how I was and I said I felt rubbish and we agreed to stop that treatment , I have had Chemo twice but this has really wiped me out for the last 5 months. I use to walk 3 to 5 miles everyday but this has zapped me like never before. I am dealing with the side effects like swollen tongue and not being able to swallow correctly. I am in hospital later for x ray etc . The Oncologist is going to see how I am and decide if it's worth doing Chemo again . His concern is he doesn't want to put me straight into hospital . I still dont feel myself and havnt for 5 months . Without treatment he said it would be very quick maybe 3 to 4 months . I really can't be dealing with being ill for the time I have left as the side affects can be bad from this drug . Obviously any treatment is better than none as I am fit as a fiddle otherwise . I suppose the question for the Oncologist is if the drug worked how long could it prolong my life. I am not one for taking the easy route but signing up for more sickness maybe for no gain doesn't sound appealing . I know its down to me at the end of the day but even feeling normal for a while would be lovely , Thanks for any replies
