Has anyone had experience immunotherapy for uterine cancer? I was wondering what the side effects are and if there is any difference between the drugs. I have Bern told that they can be effective if Lynch syndrome has been diagnosed. Many thanks
Hello, I have had immunotherapy, but for colon cancer, which was for mismatch dMMR type of cancer which is the type of cancer in lynch syndrome. I have been on just keytruda for 10 months with brilliant results, as for side effects I have many different ones, each mild but a pain in the rear end. If you search under Bowel cancer I have done a diary of my different side effects and how they have effected me. Not sure if this helps, but worth mentioning I hope.
Hello Princess Xena
There have been ladies on this forum who have been offered immunotherapy so hopefully someone will be able to share their experiences with you.
In the meantime here are some links to some info about the treatment which may be of some help.

Hope this helps, but if you would like to talk the treatments through with someone then please do give the Support Line a call.
