Immunotherapy checkpoint inhibitors

I had 3 months of nivolumab after neoadjuvant chemo then bladder removal. We hoped  for 12 months but I got peripheral neuropathy so the oncologist stopped it. We're hoping it has had some protective effect despite that. They had only just approved it for bladder cancer when I started it almost 2 years ago. I just passed 2 years clear.

I recently saw a patient booklet about it. If they have to give steroids to damp it down and that can be bad for those like me with osteoporosis so it's not a panacea. The steroids worked but my jaw collapsed a bit and my dentist had to sort out my teeth - so far so good. I was 70 when I had it and still here.

Hope that helps
