My partner was diagnosed with throat cancer in May 2020. He had Chemotherapy for 6 weeks then chemotherapy and Radiotherapy for another 6 weeks. He had a scan in December and all clear apart from scarring tissue. He had been feeding through a picc line but stopped using in January and was doing great. That is until last week we went to get the results of his follow up scan to be told his throat cancer has spread to his lungs. To say we were shocked was an understatement indeed.
Today he had his first Immunotherapy treatment and we have to wait 3 months for a scan to see if this has worked.
Does anyone have information on how well this treatment works in similar cases.
The Cancer is stage 4 and in both lungs.
Hi Hillsider. Sorry you have found yourself here.There have been some very good results with immunotherapy and some forum members are on it. If you type immunotherapy into the search bar at the very top of the page and select the head and neck cancer tab there are some threads to look through. I'll start you off on two. You might be able to connect with folk who have more information by maybe sending a friend request and a private message or simply posting in one of those threads
I hope everything goes well for you both
Best wishes
