Hi Grandma, that is amazing news I am so pleased for you. My hubby has non small cell lung cancer, he had chemoradiation and has just had his first 3 month scan and it has shrunk considerably but unfortunately he developed pneumonia ans sepsis following his treatment and was unfortunately out of time to start durvalumab which we were gutted about.  His oncologist said he would hold it in reserve if his cancer recurred.  It is so good to know that the immunotherapy has been so successful for you and it gives us hope for the future. Thank you for sharing your journey. 

Hi Thornaby lass, I hope all goes well for your husband and I’m pleased that my post gives people hope. I had a telephone appointment about a month ago now and my consultant said I was in ‘complete remission’ which made me so happy! My daughter is expecting a baby in January so I have a lot to look forward to. Just feel so fortunate to be alive. Best wishes to you and your husband, I know it’s not easy for partners of Cancer Patients but your support I’m sure, is very much appreciated. Take care x

Wow amazing and such an inspiration thank you. Can I ask what type of lung cancer you had? Etc?

many thanks in advance 

Hi Sharkey

I have Squamous cell carcinoma of the left lung which could not be operated on. I also had a tumour on my right kidney.  The immunotherapy worked well on the lung but the kidney one was still growing.  Because I was doing so well they decided to remove my kidney in March 2019. I am well at the moment and have even started a little part time job. I feel so incredibly lucky and I know how fortunate I have been. I wish you well and hope that journey goes well x

That is so uplifting thank you for sharing

Hi Follyfoot,

I am so pleased you find my post uplifting, If it gives someone hope then that makes me very happy!! Take care x

Hi Grandmar, thank you so much for sharing this. My mum also has Squamous cell carcinoma on her right lung which is non operable. She has just completed her 5th round of Pembro immunotherapy. Stories like this really mean the world and give me the boost of positivity I need. One question I do have, the third day after every treatment she feels very unwell and is bed bound. Was this similar to you and do you have any advise on how to stop the utter fatigue and nausea?
