I'm Over in the Infusion Room, With Everyone Else
The reality is that chemotherapy is widely used, and is the first line of treatment for many lung cancer patients who lack genetic markers that would qualify them for
immunotherapy
or targeted treatment. To quote Dr.

Confused
But the plot thickens they also did a nerve biopsy which showed something that my neurologist had never seen he then said I could be candidate for
immunotherapy
and he sent my results of the biopsy to Mary Riley that was 4 month ago and then nothing .

Avoiding the Harsh
Has anyone had any success with B17, Artesiminin and iron, magnolia bark, sulphorafane, berberine, ubiquinol, C, CBD, mistletoe,
immunotherapy
, etc. I have a window where I can try some things before making a decision where there is no going back. Blessings to all for your efforts and support!

Maspin. (& Curcumin, Luteolin, etc.)
New study below [1]. The Maspin-PCa literature is barely 20 years old, but there have been some intriguing findings. The name doesn't give much away - Maspin (mammary serine protease inhibitor). Maspin is considered to be a tumor suppressor gene. In PCa, its presence is associated with improved adhesion

Scientists AreDesigning Artisanal Proteins for Your Body
from New York Times Science section - a little story to go with the
immunotherapy
. I am not entirely sure if this is a novel approach, or falls under a branch of CAR T.

Are you receiving or have you received immunotherapy for non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the last 12 months?
I've had a request from Patient Power for help from UK lung cancer patients who may be eligible to take part in a survey about their experience with their
immunotherapy
treatments.

Pembrolizumab Immunotherapy
I've just had my second treatment with Pembrolizumab and the side effects of severe headaches that I suffered after the first treatment were happily absent. This is a new turn in the route; a year ago I was diagnosed with NSCLC then a week after with Bowel cancer. The consensus was that they were both

Opdivo..What do You Know
Has anyone tried this
immunotherapy
drug? I read an article recently that Keytruda was doing better for certain people but it appears I didn't qualify (not the right markers) for Keytruda.

Treatment change imminent for mcrpc
Now the docs must decide what to do next and it looks like Xtandi or Keytruda (
immunotherapy
) off study. Neither is likely to be as effective as the Zytiga. The other option is to look at clinical trials of which there are many in the large metro area I live in. I meet with my medonc next week.

Turned down for immunotherapy trial
However I was devastated to find out the reason that I was turned down for the
immunotherapy
trial was because I have clear cell cancer. Can anyone suggest a reason for this?

Getting married during the middle of immunotherapy
My son is getting married about 5 months after he starts
immunotherapy
. While everyone reacts differently, how disruptive was the
immunotherapy
?

We looked alternative treatments and we found

. He is still doing that and he did HIFU 2 years ago. Sadly, my mom was diagnosed with cancer as well and she passed away a month ago. Our family is putting our focus back on my dad after the long battle with my mom.

New diagnosis -76 year old mom
Maybe Keytruda and some other
immunotherapy
? And it does seem like it's "sneaky" from others posts and can move around and every case seems so different. Is there a "typical" treatment? At her age she is probably not going to want to do a lot of radical surgery as she might if she was younger.

it's stable I'm currently on pemetrexed every 3 weeks and apart from a few aches and pains very much getting on with it Although I carry on deep down I'm gutted but still remain positive as my oncologist has said he would hope that the chemo would be long term and if it failed then I would go onto

Have I waited too long?
Meanwhile I paid for a consultation in London and was sent to the UCLH research centre with the possibilty of being offered a phase one
immunotherapy
trial. My tumour sample was sent to UCLH for testing.
