Hi, my husband has just been diagnosed and our world has been turned upside down. In the last month he's had 2 weeks in hospital, and in the last 4 days diagnosis confirmed and his first immunotherapy is booked for tomorrow... he is really stressing out... any words of wisdom that I can give him greatly appreciated. Thank you
I can fully understand how you both are feeling. I think we are lucky that Immuntherapy is being used so much more now. They say it is groundbreaking treatment for cancer treatment and your husband id being put on it quickly - so that is good and try and feel positive as much as both of you can
Hello there.

Never rely on search engine results for answers, unless you solely look for medical definitions. Out of date or ambiguous information is worse than useless.
Its true. You'll end up down a VERY dark rabbit hole when you needn't have.
BTW I was diagnosed with RCC Stage IV in 2013. Still here. As Woodsey says, above, positivity is half the battle. Cancer is just a smaller part of your husband's being: embrace the happier other if you can.
God bless you both.
