Hello
Hi KermitAl. You brought a smile to my face (you can call me Betty) and I'm sure you don't look like frog! I'm so pleased to read your news and to see you're doing well now you're back on the Immunotherapy trials. Fingers crossed for the future! Keep us in the loop!

Hi Kermit,
So glad that the immunotherapy has given you lasting stability. There are surgeons in the UK who would be able/willing operate after a good response to immunotherapy, depending on the location of the nodes, any other spread and the situation with the primary location.Feel free to message me.

Hi Kermit
Glad to hear you are doing well. I have been told repeatedly that immunotherapy is not available for stomach cancer, even trials. I would love to read more about it if you care to share. I don't have a fear of cancer in the usual sense as this is my third unrelated cancer. I understand that something triggers the cancers to beat our immune system. For me it is anger caused by perceived enormous injustice i have suffered. I have used a therapist to deal with the anger. Now i need to reprime my immune system to kill off the cancer. Positivity makes all the difference.
The NHS say there is no further treatment for me as my chemo was stopped as the side effects were so painful. I am irritated that others are offered alternatives when i am told there are none.
I wish you well and cure for your cancer.

Hi Kermit
Lovely to hear some good news. Please can you tell me the name of your immunotherapy? Also did your stomach cancer have to have certain credentials for you to be allowed immunotheraphy?
Thanks and good luck
