I am about to start on this drug for an advanced cancer after having a a hysterectomy for cancer last year.
I wondered if anyone else had experience of this and how it went. Thanks
Hi Km71
I am sorry to hear about your cancer. I have popped a couple of links below.
The first one is a link to the Immunotherapy section on the forum that may be worth having a look at.
The second link is some information about the treatment.

I hope that the treatment goes well for you and any side effects are manageable.

Hi Km71
The only traumas are the CT scans and the scanxiety wait but so far all the 3 scans I have had since starting Dostarlimab have shown an excellent response.
Good luck
Thank you for your reassuring reply. It makes it much easier hearing from someone who has been down the same path.
I hope that you continue to feel well and the treatment continues to work for you.
The scans are just one of these things we will have to put up with I suppose, but I know how you feel!
Best wishes. K.
