Hi, I'm new to this and have a few questions.
My husband had a tumour removed from his spine in April - the pain had been diagnosed as a pulled muscle until on the second trip to A&E a CT scan showed a tumour.
We were then on a rollercoaster of operations& scans. 4 months later the scans show no detectable other tumours. He is now about to start immnotherapy.
My question to the doctor - how long does he need to have this for?
Her reply - for as long as it works.
Has anyone had experience of immnotherapy, does it really go on forever?? The side-effects scare me on his behalf?
Hi eap4rose
Welcome to our community though we are always a little bit sorry to see a new member join our special club.
What type of cancer does your husband have?
My wife had two lots of chemotherapy, the first caused some unwanted side effects but it was possible to treat them and the second caused her cancer to go to sleep - we have been living with cancer now for over 10 years.
<<hugs>>
Steve
