Hi is anybody having immune after chemo for lung cancer and if you have how are doing 

  • Hi 

    I had initially a blast of Radiotherapy then Chemo and Immunotherapy. I was surprisingly well and didn’t have any major side effects. I did however have to stop the immunotherapy after 18months due to raised ALT effecting my liver. Oncologist said it was better to stop now to prevent damage to the liver. 
    I was diagnosed jan 2021 and other than developing Diabeties have managed well. Hope this helps 

  • Really nice to hear from someone with a positive Journey 4 years in good luck and stay well xx

  • Hi ,I've had chemotherapy, radiotherapy and been on immune durvalumab for 10 months, 1 month, for lung cancer. I've just been told few weeks back cancer as gone in my lung which is brilliant, I founPrayit not to bad but I didn't have my 11th treatment due to problem with my liver side affects, glad to say was put on steroids and my liver is nearly back to normal...I'm seeing my cancer Dr on 26th tPraydecide if to have the remaining 2 treatments. So good luck to you stay postive. Hope that helps you Pray 

  • That’s brilliant news give us hope thank you xx

  • That’s fantastic news we are still waiting he had a ct biopsy on his left lung it seems to be taking ages they confirm that it is in his right lung but the tiny nodule on his left lung looks suspicious  just wish they would hurry up and start treating it

  • Hi I know that feeling of waiting it's worrying but it won't be much longer now. I'm 3 weeks in from a right lobe lobectomy and recovering well. Next for me is results then a treatment plan if needed. Wish you well. Keep in touch xx

  • The scans showed lymph nodes fine but they still removed them just waiting for results. Fingers crossed 

  • Finally got some action seeing oncologist on 7th March with a view to starting treatment left lung showed some cancer but no lymph nodes involved 

  • What a blessingPray tone2 I had 2 lymph nodes involved and I’m going on round 3 of chemo and it’s tough. Keep us posted on treatment and how you are doing….

  • Hi Devon Jan 

    I was trying to find someone who had had chemo radio and was having immunotherapy specifically durvalumab . I think I spoke to you at one time but I am finishing radiotherapy end of next week and then going to discuss immunotherapy so just wanted to see how you got on and side effects etc u know everyone is different and I am 75 years old  , you can see my story but just trying to get all the info before I get to discuss the next line of treatment bearing in mind mine was a blip on the suture line of my last op 2 years ago ‘Or if any e else has a comment to make that would be great thanks
