Can anyone tell me how quick you started to feel better after immunotherapy started. My mum had her appointment with her oncologist today, they are still waiting on some test results to confirm what treatment they will give but spoke about Nivolumab and cabozantinib. She has been diagnosed with metastatic kidney cancer. I’m only asking because she is really suffering with acid reflux and can’t really eat but is hungry and keeps being sick. The doctor prescribed something today to help that but I wondered if these symptoms ease or go after treatment starts. Any advice would be greatly appreciated x
