What an awful position to be in. So sorry about that Emma. I hope you can manage to make a decision as to what is best for you.
Do you have an specialist oncology nurse to Advise you ? They are often part of the team that manage your route through, or in, cancer.
I'm sure you could get better advice if you pushed for it.
Please try. Whilst I understand you may feel like giving up there could just be more help/advice to be had.
Best of luck and do Keep posting...Del.
Hi Emma B so sorry to hear that, like the other posts have you got a contact or a Macillian nurse or try the Helpline to see if they can advise you on a course of action.
Which drugs did you have on immunotherapy as I was given a trial Durvuamulab which is normally given to Lung Cancer patients.
Unfortunately this made me have side effects which affected my quality of life & delayed my recovery to be honest.
Hopefully someone will have a answer but rest assured that support from here will help you as it's helped me, as I said before I would never think of posting anything just reading.
Hope this helps & let us know,
Mike
