oesophageal cancer and immunotherapy

Hi Toby. I have not had immunotherapy but was offered it. I made a decision against it because of my age and the analysis of the benefits for myself  when taking into account all the sessions required over a 12 month period. I was not at all convinced that for me personally that it was the right thing to do.

 The only counsel I can give is that I think it is something you need to discuss in detail with your oncologist as to what are the perceived benefits in your own situation. It is maybe  going to improve your chances against reoccurrence but is the gain worth the pain. That's the decision but the information base seems in my view to be sketchy or at least it appeared that way at the time. Perhaps there is more supportive data now than when I made this decision nearly 2 years back. All the best and glad you are doing so very well so far. I will be interested to see how many people respond to you to say they have taken this on and how it affected them.
