Hi, I was diagnosed in September with stage 4 colon cancer, 60mm tumour, spread through the lymph system but not yet any other organ. I was and still am, so very healthy, and I had no symptoms. All my NHS 'poo tests', even the one dated 2024, were negative. Initially they were hoping it was just localised lymph nodes and I was preparing for surgery so it was a huge shock to be told, nope, no surgery just immunotherapy for 2 years to try and prolong life. I get an infusion every 6 weeks and I just received the first CT scan results after 3 sessions which already shows a positive response, with one lymph node reducing from 1.4cm to 0.4cm. Don't get me wrong, I am very pleased, as are my husband and all my friends. But I am also scared, at what point will it stop working and my world crashes again? Is anyone further down the immunotherapy road? How are you coping? Thanks, L x
