I was wondering has anybody else had these and what side effects have they had? And was the results good? 
I had immune therapy but it was stopped because it was causing me harm, I have stage 4 lung cancer and I ended up having a drain fitted

i would be grateful for any advice 

thankyou Donna 

  • Hi, I'm on immunotherapy,  had to lower my dose in February.  Just been to consultant and while lung cancer has not progressed, have developed a heart problem so now a load of tests again...

    I also have had a drain fitted in January.  For 5 weeks now have had very little fluid to drain, so in a couple of weeks may have it removed. Have they told you what they propose to do next? Keep your chin up, it's horrible I know. Hugs

  • I had my drain removed yesterday as there was no more fluid coming out, and the oncologist said it would be better having the treatment without it in due to infection, my next treatment is the drugs above for a few courses if my body can take it xx

  • Had my first bout yesterday and felt like I’d been in a boxing round this morning, very sore and tired , at least the next one isn’t until next week so time to rest , will just have to see how the side effects go for now I will keep an update
