My husband has been off immunotherapy for 6 months now due to it causing colitis, we have just received the news today that the cancer remains stable the colitis is still there but not as bad so will need a follow up with the gastroenterology team cancer wise he will have bloods and another CT scan in 3 to 4 months so pleased with this news as being off treatment we were scared of growth or spread also they said if it does grow or spread then there is still options available for him absolutely made up.
He had caught a break Hayleyc89 . Amazing news . This is still working for him .
How encouraging for him and the wider community here ! I can’t believe it , it’s just the best possible outcome .
Hope your having a wee holiday with the kids to celebrate.
Take care ,

Oh my goodness this is just the best read ever! Thanks court for the tag..this is just what I needed to read today. I can’t wait to go on holiday with my family - or to even hear the words the tumors have reduced would even be enough. Thank you so much for posting and giving hope. Worth the immunotherapy struggles!! Xx
Mizzle88 we are in complete shock that immunotherapy is still working even though he hasn't had any for 6 months and has been on high dose steroids plus infliximab for the past 6 months too we really did expect the worse definitely shows immunotherapy is worth the struggles doesn't it xxx
Absolutely! Currently sitting with my feet in cold water as the immunotherapy rash has covered them and they are itchy and sore - but reading this this morning really helps. I’m working so just sitting as a desk so it’s ok and I’ll keep doing what needs to be done until my body can’t take it any more - which will hopefully be a while. So delighted for uou all! Really is amazing xx
