Hi everyone, i just want to ask few question about ovarian cancer returning at different place.
i had full hysterectomy and chemo 6 year ago and as part of 6 monthly review - my cancer counters doubled, followed by CT scan in Nov 2021. I have 3 cm growth on a muscle near my bladder. the growth is actually pushing into my bladder. I am hoping to have surgery in few weeks and followed by horrid Chemo.
i have been given leaflet on BRCA gene test, they are talking about maybe i can have immunatherapy but no one is telling me the side effects of it. Any advice would be welcome. thank you in advance. :)
Hi Pavitter and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is an informative and supportive place to be.
I can't help with what side effects you might experience from immunotherapy but I spotted that your post hadn't had any replies yet so replying to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list.
Do you know the name of the immunotherapy treatment that is being proposed? Your CNS should be able to give you information on the type of side effects that can happen if you don't get any replies here.
While you're waiting for replies it would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
