Hi all

My diagnosis was T4NOMO Squamous cell OC. Started chemo-radiation in December, finished February. Recent scans show the tumour has grown again and they are starting me on immunotherapy.

Has anyone Else been on this treatment? What side effects did you have? Did the treatment work? I've been told this is probably the last treatment I can have so pinning my hopes on it.

Thanks

This is a useful thread, thanks. My wife had primary squamous cell OC which was dealt with surgically, but now has secondaries, and is expected to start on Nivolumab very soon, provided that a current problem can be successfully stabilized.

Best wishes to everybody here!

Hi PTP

I'm starting treatment on Tuesday so I've got everything crossed for a good start. I hope your wife's treatment goes well too. Keep us posted on her progress.
