Hi,

Has anyone had immunotherapy treatment for throat cancer. My mother has opted for this treatment instead of surgery as she thinks it will be more appropriate for her at her age of 82.

As a family we are very sad about this because it will be palliative treatment, however we have to honour her wishes.

We've not found anyone of this age who has had a laryngectomy so she is not confident to go through with this option.

Also she has read that the tissues do not heal so well after radiotherapy. 

Has anyone had or known anyone who has had immunotherapy treatment for a similar type of cancer.

thanks,

Kizzi
