Has anyone have Immountherapy, is there lots of side effects? My husband had a recurrence and neck dissection so maybe this would be better second time around. Thanks 

  • Hi Chris.

    Immunotherapy is mentioned quite a lot here. I've done a search for you so click on the link below and have a look through.

    We do have a member here who has done very well on it and is a patient advocate for The Oracle Cancer Trust

    I'll tag him so that he knows you're asking  

    He has a blog about his journey amongst other things.

    Have a look at the links I've made and I hope this helps a little

  • Hi Chris, as  mentioned, if your husband has the right biomarkers to allow the drug to work (he will be tested for those) immuntherapy is definintely worth trying. If he is eligible, overall immunothary has fewer harsh side effectst than say chemo, but he will be carfefully monitored as some of the side-effects are not common but serious. Happy to reply to any questions you may have. Best, Anson

  • Thanks Anson. 
    Can you update your blog address on your profile. The one you have there is broken. Thanks
