Hi

Are there any success stories for stage 4 stomach cancer (mets to peritoneum) with FOLFOX and immunotherapy (pembrolizumab)? My dad has a PDL1 score of 1 so is eligible but I've heard this is quite low and immunotherapy may not be effective. Is that true? 

  • Hi Hope

    I am sorry that you have not yet had a response to your question, but sometimes it can just take a little longer for someone to see it and respond. 

    I am sorry to hear of Dad's stomach cancer but as my own cancer was different to his I am not sure about the immunotherapy. By me replying it will bump your post and hopefully someone who has had a similar experience will see it and offer support. 

    While you are waiting for a reply, why not give the Macmillan Support Line a call and talk to one of the nurses about Dad's treatment regime- they would be able to talk you through it. They are there from 8am-8pm daily. 

    I wish your Dad the best for his treatment and if there is anything else you need, please do ask. 

    Jane
