Just wanted to make my first post here.
I'm currently undergoing immunotherapy after having had radiotherapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy in combination since July 2020 for stage 4 large cell lung cancer.
The immunotherapy is a lot easier than all three at the same time and scans show my tumours have shrunk by over 50% which is great.
All being well I'll be on that for the next two years.
Just looking to say hello really.
Hi Gary
Welcome to the group although, as everyone will tell you, it's a shame we have to meet under such circumstances.
Seems like we have gone down similar treatment paths, mine was Carboplatin, Etopside & Atezolizumab for 4 cycles then another of Atezo followed by 10 zaps of RT and then back on the Atezo - have just completed 10th cycle and like you, my tumours had shrunk by 50% at 3 months.
I've just had my 6 monthlies and now the tumours have further shrunk to the point where they are "barely measurable" so I'll take that...
I hope to see you posting on a regular basis.
