Treatment of cemiplimab is starting in a few weeks once they have analysed biopsy TIA everyone
Hi cissy sorry about the situation you’re both facing again. There are a few people here with distant mets who have had good results with immunotherapy which is what your husband is being offered. I’m reticent to tag anybody but if you put immunotherapy in the search box at the top and look for the most recent in the advanced search you’ll find a few threads
Best wishes.
