Hi Everyone, it's Marigold.

I had a consultation today, where I learned, my kidney cancer went all over may belly, lung, even my pancreas.

Still I am ok, no depi, no cry.

Also there will not be operation, but probably immunotherapy to reach all ugly little flower of my kidney mass.

So I would like to ask everybody about the experience through immunotherapy. By the way, tomorrow is kidney biopsy day, yey!

Hugs to All.

Marigold,

So sorry to hear of your diagnosis. Immunotherapy has worked very well for a lot of people in shrinking tumours.

I'm still undergoing treatment so cannot yet comment on it's effectiveness personally.

I imagine you will be offered Immunotherapy alongside targeted therapy. There can be side effects e.g. fatigue, diarrhoea, constipation, nausea and sickness. There are others but you will be advised on these and macmillan has a lot of information on this site.

One thing I would say from my own experience is that if you suffer from raised BP see your gp and get it sorted out now.

It caused my initial Immunotherapy treatment to be postponed for 3 weeks and the targeted therapy for a further 2 weeks. Apart from this I have, as yet, suffered no side effects.

I hope this helps but let me know if there is anything else.

Thinking of you.
