Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone who's on immunotherapy has noticed any changes in their throat since starting treatment ?
I've noticed some changes to my hearing which was virtually gone before I started treatment but it fluctuates and its the same with my swallow.

Hi Tilly. Just thought I’d pop on and at least reply to your post. There doesn’t seem to be anybody around to answer You could have a quick search here

and post the same question in an existing thread

Base of tongue cancer. T2N0M0 6 weeks Radiotherapy finished January 2019
That's great to hear !!
I'm the same, hardly any side effects from the first 2 rounds, felt a bit more tired after the 3rd one but other than that I've been great. just had No 4 so fingers crossed it continues.
Ive definitely noticed an improvement in my hearing and swallowing. My tumour was blocking the eustachian tube (tube from throat to the ear) so I'm hoping that means that the magic is working
Hope everything carries on well for you too wee Frank
