Had my pre-assessment and bloods today for my nivolumab start next Wednesday. Booked in for 2 weekly cycles on assumption it works of course. Hoping it can stabilise tumour growth in neck/jaw and ease up the mouth in time. Will let you know how I go on but administration of therapy and time taken appears much less hassle than good old chemo.
Good luck
Ian’s post is very encouraging too
