Hi, my Mum is possibly going to be offered Immunotherapy to treat bowel cancer. Wrong forum I know but I'm trying  to find out what the side effects are like and I believe immunotherapy has been used for breast cancer for some time now?

My Mum is 81.

Thank you.

  • Sorry to hear about your mum’s situation. There are multiple different immunotherapy drugs working in very different ways. Do you know which drug they are proposing?

  • Hi Coddfish, we have an appointment at the end of the month so we were trying to find out as much as possible about it before then?

  • Unfortunately it’s not possible to comment on side effects without knowing what drug is proposed. Allthe best with the appointment
