Immunotherapy

I had immunotherapy after my chemo and bladder removal, called Nivolumab. They give it just like chemo into a cannula in your arm. I think there are other types of immunotherapy now. 

In my case it was sort of belt and braces because some of the tumour cells were aggressive, rather than last resort, so when I developed peripheral neuropathy (pins and kneedles in feet and hands)  we stopped it after 3 months. The oncologist said it left her options if I had a recurrence later. 

Nothing to worry about - the idea is to make your own immune system fight against the cancer cells. I wish I'd managed the full course but we hope it made a difference (and it did make my hair curly though that only lasted a year!)

All the best,
