I have been on this treatment for a few months in now getting indigestion heartburn is that a side effect if so what can I do
Hi Toasty
I am sorry to hear that you are getting some indigestion/heart burn whilst having immunotherapy.
With immunotherapy there are different types of medication and different regimes so perhaps it would be best to talk to your CNS/Doctor about this. They would be able to confirm if this is an expected side effect and perhaps offer some medication if it is.
You could also give the Macmillan Support Line a call and talk with one of the nurses about the immunotherapy you are having and they ay also be able to advise you.
I wish you well for your continued treatment and I hope that the side effects settle.
Jane
